Ingredients

Bread:

• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/8 tsp cloves
• 200g sugar

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 175C. Grease a loaf pan and line it with a piece of parchment.
2. In one bowl mix together all the dry ingredients, except sugar.
3. In another bowl whisk eggs with sugar, oil, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract. Add dry ingredients and mix until everything is incorporated. Fold in chopped pecans.
4. For the streusel, mix together all the dry ingredients, add cold butter and rub it with your fingertips until sandy texture. Mix in chopped nuts.
5. Pour the batter into prepared loaf pan, sprinkle a thick layer of streusel on top, and bake for 50-60 minutes until the streusel is golden brown and the wooden skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.

This soft and moist pumpkin bread is topped with a thick layer of crunchy and fragrant pecan streusel.
