Fall Baking Favorites: Streusel Pumpkin Bread

October 26, 2015

Everyone loves a good pumpkin bread recipe and boy have I got one for you.  The only thing better than a homemade slice of pumpkin bread is one that is topped with streusel and glaze from From Calculus to Cupcakes.  The buttery crumble provides a stark contrast to the moist bread hiding beneath it.  The glaze is the only thing adaptation I would make to this recipe.  I love that extra layer of sweetness but wanted it to bring more to the bread than just pure sugar.  I prefer using a maple glaze (a mixture of powdered sugar, maple syrup and milk) or an orange glaze instead (orange juice, orange zest, and powdered sugar).  If you want to be really devilish, throw in some chocolate chips too!
