how to make this pumpkin bread with brown butter streusel
This loaf is so simple to make! The loaf comes together in one bowl — first mix the wet ingredients, then add the dry. Fold everything together until it’s just combined. That’s it! Transfer the batter to a loaf pan. For the streusel, add everything to a bowl and mix together. The mixture should stick together but easily crumble in your fingers.
Top the batter with the streusel so it is evenly covered then transfer to the oven to bake. You’ll know the loaf is done when an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Once the loaf cools a bit, remove it from the pan. To make the maple glaze, combine maple syrup and powdered sugar and whisk until smooth. Drizzle the glaze on the loaf and enjoy!
how to store any leftovers
If you happen to have any leftovers, store them in a sealable container. It doesn’t need to be kept in the fridge, just make sure it’s in a sealed container so it doesn’t dry out! Also, if you aren’t going to eat the loaf all in one setting, it is best to not put all the icing on at once. If the icing sits on the loaf for a long time it will make it a bit soggy. Instead, just add glaze to each individual slice!

instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Begin by browning the butter for the streusel. Add the butter to a small pan over medium heat. Stir as the butter melts. Continue to stir until the butter begins to foam up and when it subsides you'll be left with brown, nutty smelling butter. Pour the butter into a bowl and let it cool in the fridge while you make the batter for the loaf.
- In a large bowl combine olive oil, brown sugar, eggs, pumpkin puree, greek yogurt, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
- Add flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir until just combined.
- Prepare a loaf pan that is approximately 9"x5" by lining it with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Now make the streusel. Add the cooled brown butter to a small bowl. Add the flour, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice. Mix with your hands or a hand mixer until the mixture sticks together but crumbles when you try to break it up.
- Crumble the streusel on top of the batter in the loaf pan. Evenly cover the entire surface of the loaf. Transfer to the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes. The loaf is finished when an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the loaf cool while you make the glaze. To make the glaze combine the powdered sugar and maple syrup in a bowl and whisk until smooth. Drizzle on the entire loaf or just on a slice at a time. Enjoy!
