Pumpkin Streusel Bread
Who is ready for PUMPKIN SEASON?!?! Fall flavors, hot apple cider, and pumpkin bread! I am so excited!!
Not only is pumpkin bread perfect on it’s own but when you top it with a sweet, crunchy streusel topping, it takes it to another level!
What is a Streusel Topping?
It’s a mixture, made from butter, flour, and sugar, that creates a sweet and crunchy texture when baked on.
Basically, it makes everything it tops, better. So let’s make perfect pumpkin bread, even tastier!
This super moist pumpkin bread starts with a cake mix. Not just any plain cake mix, a spice cake mix.
Ingredients Needed
- Spice Cake Mix
- Pumpkin Pie Spice
- Pumpkin Puree (do not use pumpkin pie mix)
- Egg
- Almond/Vanilla Extract
The great thing about this recipe is that it uses the whole can of pumpkin puree. No leftover pumpkin to worry about!
Streusel Ingredients
- Flour
- Brown Sugar (or granulated sugar substitute)
- Pumpkin Pie Spice
- Butter
Mix these ingredients together to form a crumbly mixture and then sprinkle on top of your bread batter.
How to make moist Pumpkin Streusel Bread
First: Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9×5 loaf pan.
Second: In a large bowl, combine the bread ingredients until just mixed. Pour into the greased loaf pan.
Third: In a different bowl, combine the streusel topping ingredients until you get a crumbly consistency. Evenly sprinkle on top of the bread batter.
Fourth: Place in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
Fifth: While the pumpkin bread is cooling, whisk together the ingredients for the glaze in a bowl until smooth. Drizzle with glaze, slice, and enjoy!

How to store it
Yes, an airtight container will keep this bread fresh for up to 5 days. You can also refrigerate it in an airtight container for up to 5 days. (it never lasts that long for my family!)
Can I freeze it?
Yes, you can freeze this bread once it has been baked, the best idea is to not glaze it before freezing.
Wrap the bread in plastic wrap tightly to keep air from getting to it and then place in an airtight container to freeze for up to three months.
Tips for No Leftovers
- Wrap the pumpkin bread in foil soon after coming out of the oven, it will keep the moisture in.
- If you are a temperature nerd, you can check if your pumpkin bread is done when the internal temperature is between 190-200F.
- You can use homemade pumpkin puree if desired.
- Remember to grease your muffin tin or use cupcake liners.
- You could bake this in an 8×8 square pan, or up to a 9×13 pan, it will be thinner the larger pan you use.
- Easily turn this into muffins! The baking time will be much shorter, so keep an eye on the muffins. I would start with a 12 minute baking time and go from there.

Pumpkin Bread
Ingredients
Pumpkin Bread Batter
- 14 ounces pumpkin puree
- 1 box spice cake mix
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 egg
Streusel Topping
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 cup butter softened
Cream Cheese Glaze
- 1/4 cup cream cheese softened
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat Oven to 350° and grease a 9×5 loaf pan.
- In a large bowl with a hand mixer combine the bread ingredients until just mixed. Pour into the greased loaf pan.
- In a small bowl combine the streusel topping ingredients until you get a crumbly consistency, then sprinkle evenly on top of the bread batter.
- Place in a preheated oven and bake for 60 minutes, insert a toothpick in the middle to check if it is completely baked. If not, return to the oven for another ten minutes and check again. The top should be golden brown and bread should be baked all the way through.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for 15 minutes. Remove from the pan and allow to cool for another 15 minutes.
- While baked bread is cooling, combine all ingredients for the glaze in a medium bowl with a whisk or electric mixer with the whisk attachment. Glaze should be a liquid consistency, but not too runny. If you need more or less milk add by ½ TSP until desired consistency is reached.
- Drizzle with glaze, slice, and enjoy!
