Pumpkin Bread Recipe

While pumpkin bread is the perfect fall treat, my family is game for this recipe at any time of the year.

My mom shared this recipe with me years ago and each time I bake pumpkin bread, I pull out the printed e-mail that includes the recipe. I had to type out the recipe to share with a group I am in, so I figured I would type it out and share here on the blog.

One of my favorite things about this recipe is that it uses an entire can of pumpkin. So many other pumpkin recipes don’t use the entire can and then I am always stuck with finding ways to use the leftover pumpkin. Also – this liquid coconut cooking oil is my favorite for baking. 

I enjoy serving this bread to my girls. To cut down on their sugar intake for breakfast, I chop of the top of their bread. I enjoy eating the top of their slices (the streusel!). They haven’t figured me out yet. :) 

Pumpkin Bread Recipe. My favorite part about this recipe is that is uses a full can of pumpkin. I am not left with extra pumpkin to try and find a use for.

This recipe makes 2 loaves. It also works perfectly for muffins if you prefer.

Notes
  1. This recipe can be used to make muffins instead. Bake at 350 for about 23 minutes.
  2. You may substitute the oats in topping for chopped pecans.
  3. You may substitute the 2/3 cup of oil for 1/3 cup applesauce AND 1/3 cup oil.
  4. Sugar can be reduced by 1/3 cup and there is little difference in the taste.
  5. You may substitute a portion of the white sugar for brown sugar.

    I’ve never had pumpkin bread with a streusel topping and I’m LOVING the addition of oats! I bet with a whole can of pumpkin this bread is super moist – such a great breakfast treat! Thanks for sharing!

      It’s actually supposed to have chopped pecans, but I never have pecans in my kitchen. And oats are cheaper!

      Thanks for pinning!

    What a sweet and giving mom you are to eat the top of their bread! I feel certain they wouldn’t like it. Ha! Man, I love pumpkin bread with streusel topping, plus this recipe makes two loaves…one to eat and one to freeze or share. Thanks so much for posting to Waiting On…Wednesday! Pinning for sure!

      I know…I am so unselfish. It’s such a sacrifice on my part. ;)

      Yes, I love that it creates 2 loaves. It freezes great. I forgot to mention that in my post! Thanks for pinning.

    I remember seeing this on Instagram and didn’t have a chance to hop over to check it out. I love love pumpkin bread. Never thought of putting a topping on top other than a glaze. Pinning this for my next baking day.
