This pumpkin bread with a cinnamon crumble topping is made with pumpkin pureé and pumpkin spices. This easy pumpkin bread recipe is fluffy, moist, and should be on repeat all fall long!
Although there isn’t really a “fall” in South Florida, I just pretend by eating a bunch of pumpkin flavored foods.
Pumpkin Bread Ingredients
Similar to my banana bread, I love utilizing coconut oil, maple syrup, and coconut sugar. Sometimes I even use whole wheat flour instead of all purpose.
Making the pumpkin batter
You’ll need two bowls, one for your dry ingredients and one for your wet. You don’t need to use an electric blender, you can use a whisk instead. Combine the wet and dry separately, then slowly mix in the wet to the dry. A silicone spatula is a must to ensure you get all the dry ingredients off the sides and bottom.
I take my baking loaf and line it with parchment paper. I cut it in two strips, one to go each way in the pan. One tip I have, is use chip bag clips to keep the parchment paper in place so it doesn’t move around while pouring the batter in. You can stop now and bake, or you can make the cinnamon crumble to go on top.
Cinnamon Crumble
To make the cinnamon crumble you use: flour, granulated sugar, butter and cinnamon. I blended it with the electric blender, or you can use your hands to mix it until you get little crumbles. Don’t over work it or it will turn into a giant butter ball (and I’m not talkin’ the good Thanksgiving type). I sprinkled it over the pumpkin batter, use your hands to pat it into the batter. I then topped with a little more spice.
Bake for 40-50 minutes, until you can insert a toothpick and no wet residue stays on the toothpick. I always test the center of the loaf.
Carefully use the parchment paper to help assist it out of the loaf pan. I allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes before cutting into it and enjoying it.
To ensure it stays moist and lasts long (if you don’t eat it all right away), make sure you tightly cover it with foil, or wrap it up with plastic wrap. You can also warm it up for a few seconds the next day for a warm delicious slice! I hope you enjoy this pumpkin bread with cinnamon crumble topping!
Things you’ll need: Two bowls, loaf pan, parchment paper, electric mixer or whisk, silicone spatula

Notes
- To keep my parchment paper in place, I use chip bag clips to secure it while pouring in the batter. Remove clips before placing in the oven.
- Store wrapped in plastic or covered so it remains moist and keeps longer.
