Equipment

  • Kitchen Scale
  • 9x5-inch (23x13 cm) Loaf Pan

Ingredients
 

For the Cinnamon Streusel Topping:

  • 60 g (½ cup) all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
  • 50 g (¼ cup) light brown sugar packed
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 42 g (3 tbsp) unsalted butter melted and cooled

For the Pumpkin Bread:

  • 210 g (1 ¾ cup) all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground ginger
  • ½ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp ground cloves
  • ¼ tsp ground allspice
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 200 g (1 cup) light brown sugar packed
  • 100 g (½ cup) granulated sugar
  • 300 g (1 ¼ cup) canned pumpkin puree
  • 57 g (¼ cup) unsalted butter melted and cooled
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 125 ml (½ cup) buttermilk room temperature

For the Espresso Glaze:

  • 60 g (½ cup) powdered sugar spooned and leveled
  • 1-2 tbsp freshly brewed espresso

Instructions

For the Cinnamon Streusel:

  • In a small bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Stir until everything is evenly coated. It should resemble wet sand. Set aside.

For the Pumpkin Bread:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9x5-inch (23x13 cm) loaf pan and line with parchment paper, leaving a few inches of overhang. Set aside.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the flour, spices, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together both sugars, the pumpkin puree, and melted butter. Mix until fully combined. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth and glossy.
  • Mix in half the buttermilk followed by half the flour. Repeat once more until everything is just combined. Use a flexible spatula to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl. Be careful not to over mix.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, smoothing out the top. Evenly sprinkle the top of the batter with cinnamon streusel. 
  • Bake for 60-75 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the streusel is browning quickly, place a tent of foil over the top to prevent the top from over browning.
  • Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour. 

For the Espresso Glaze:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and espresso until smooth and drizzly.
  • Pour over the cooled pumpkin bread.
