Description

This recipe embraces the original rich ingredients that provide both taste and texture. There’s no need to substitute with low-sugar, fat-free, or “diet” versions unless those options genuinely align with your preferences or health needs.


Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 1/2 tsp salt

  • 2 tsp baking soda

  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves

  • 1/4 tsp ground allspice

  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger

  • 2 cups granulated sugar

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

  • 1 cup canola oil (or vegetable oil)

  • 4 eggs, large

  • 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)

  • 2/3 cup water

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Crumble Topping Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup butter, cold and cubed

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon


Instructions

Instructions:

 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease two 8×4 bread pans (Optionally, place parchment paper in the bottom and grease with baking spray).

  2. In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, allspice, and ginger together.

  3. Add granulated sugar and brown sugar; mix until combined.

  4. Add oil and mix until just combined (the mix will be dry).

  5. Add the eggs, 2 at a time, mixing after each addition (the mixture will still be somewhat dry).

  6. Add pumpkin puree, water, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

  7. Divide the batter between the two bread pans. Set aside.

  8. For the crumble topping, in a separate bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon together. Cut in the butter with a fork or pastry cutter until it resembles coarse crumbs.

  9. Sprinkle the topping evenly over both batters.

  10. Bake for 55-65 minutes. (Cover with tinfoil if the crumble starts to brown too much.)

  11. Allow to cool completely before slicing, serving, and enjoying!
