Kurt's Pumpkin Bread with Maple Glaze
This is seriously the best pumpkin bread recipe EVER. Not only is it incredibly moist, but it also has a crunchy pumpkin spice streusel topping and a sticky maple glaze. It’s also SO easy to make and you don’t even need a mixer! So grab a bowl and a whisk because you’re about to make some life-changing pumpkin bread.
Additional Notes:
------------------
PUMPKIN PUREE – Make sure to use pumpkin PUREE and not pumpkin pie filling. I also recommend using Libby’s pumpkin as some other canned pumpkin puree brands are mislabeled and are actually made with a blend of different squashes. So different brands of canned pumpkin can contain different levels of moisture. For consistency, I always use Libby’s (not sponsored).

Pumpkin Bread:
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 350F
Step 3
Grease the inside of a 9×5 loaf pan with unsalted butter and then line with parchment paper.(Make sure the paper comes up and over the two longest sides of the pan so it’s easy to lift out.)
Step 4
In a bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, salt) and set aside.
Step 5
Using an electric mixer or a whisk, mix together the sugars, pumpkin, and oil until fully combined.
Step 6
Next mix in the eggs and vanilla.

Mix in half of the dry ingredients

Mix in the milk
Step 9
Then mix in the rest of the dry ingredients until you get a smooth batter.
Step 10
Pour the mix into the prepared pan and spread it even.
Step 11
Take the streusel out of the fridge and break it up using a knife or fork to create uniform clumps.
Step 12
Completely cover the top of the batter in streusel and bake for 1 hr and 15 minutes (or until a toothpick in the middle comes out clean). If it needs more time, keep adding 5 minutes until it’s ready.
Step 13
Remove from oven
Maple Glaze:
Step 14
While the bread bakes, mix together the powdered sugar and maple syrup.
Step 15
With the bread fresh from the oven, pour the glaze on top of the hot loaf.
