Here’s a moist and flavorful Pumpkin Bread topped with a crunchy, caramelized brown sugar pecan topping. Perfect for fall or holiday baking, this bread is a crowd-pleaser that’s as beautiful as it is delicious.

Ingredients (Makes 1 loaf):

For the Pumpkin Bread:
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Brown Sugar Pecan Topping:
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon (optional)

Tips for Success:

  • Do not overmix the batter: This ensures the bread stays light and tender.
  • Use canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for the best flavor and texture.
  • Line your loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal.

How to Make Pumpkin Bread with Brown Sugar Pecan Topping:

1. Preheat the Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.

3. Mix Wet Ingredients:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

4. Combine the Batter:

  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

5. Prepare the Topping:

  • In a small bowl, mix together the chopped pecans, brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon (if using).

6. Assemble and Bake:

  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the brown sugar pecan topping evenly over the batter.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7. Cool and Serve:

  • Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
