Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

1.75 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
0.5 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
0.5 teaspoon ground ginger

Wet Ingredients

1 cup granulated sugar
0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
0.5 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs room temperature
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
0.33 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Streusel Topping

0.5 cup all-purpose flour
0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
0.25 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

Instructions

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan well.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Make sure these dry ingredients are well combined.

Mixing Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Next, stir in the pumpkin puree, water, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.

Combine Ingredients

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are a few small lumps.

Streusel Topping

For the streusel topping, mix the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Then, cut in the cold butter with a fork until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.

Baking

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, and then sprinkle the streusel topping generously over the top.
Bake in your preheated oven for 55-65 minutes. Check if it's done by inserting a toothpick into the center. It should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.

Cooling

Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Slice and serve as is, or spread a bit of butter on warm slices. Pairs well with coffee or tea. For a special treat, add cream cheese frosting on top. Storing: Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil; keeps well at room temperature for about 2-3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
