The best pumpkin bread with a crunchy cinnamon streusel topping that bakes up perfectly every time.

With the recent cooler temperatures, I’ve been in the mood to do some fall baking, and pumpkin bread is always the first thing that comes to mind. Sweet breads like this are so easy to make and are perfect for sharing and gifting too. I’ve been making this pumpkin bread recipe for years in a few different variations, but today I wanted to share with you one of my favorite versions with a sweet, crunchy cinnamon streusel topping!

PUMPKIN BREAD WITH CINNAMON STREUSEL

INGREDIENTS:

for the bread:
1½ cups all-purpose flour
1½ teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon baking powder
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1½ cups brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup unsweetened pumpkin puree
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
⅓ cup milk

for the streusel topping:
½ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon

INSTRUCTIONS:

In a medium bowl, add the flour, melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix until well combined, and refrigerate while preparing the rest of the recipe.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9″ x 5″ loaf pan with cooking spray and line bottom of pan with wax paper. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and baking powder. Set aside.

In a large bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Add the brown sugar and beat for 4 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then mix in the pumpkin puree. In a small bowl, stir the vanilla into the milk. Mix the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture in 3 additions on low speed, alternating with the milk mixture. Pour batter into the prepared pan in an even layer.

Once the butter in the streusel topping is cold again, use a fork to break the mixture into small equal size pieces. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the batter, and bake for about 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully turn out onto a rack to finish cooling completely.

    The flavor is amazing! I’ve now made it 3 times in the last couple of weeks. I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong, but the streusel keeps sinking into the center of the bread. Any suggestions?

The perfect example of design on a budget. I feel The perfect example of design on a budget. I feel like kids go through so many phases of what they do and don’t like as they get older, and we’re often changing the boys’ bedrooms to make them function better as they grow out of each phase (way too quickly, I might add 🥺).

I’m a big believer in teaching kids to be mindful of taking care of their belongings and their home from the time they are little, which is why I don’t worry so much about light colored couches in the living room or white walls throughout the house. BUT kids are also kids, and I design their bedrooms with a much more frugal budget so that if anything gets old & worn or needs to be replaced/repurposed... I don’t sweat the money that was spent!

In this room we used inexpensive pieces from IKEA, Target and Walmart to create a cozy teenage boy’s room, but it definitely doesn’t skimp on style. We’re planning a little makeover again in this room soon, and I’m excited to show you what we have up our sleeves for my now 15 year old... good grief, where does the time go?

You can find all the details of this room here:

A weird side angle of the living room as proof tha A weird side angle of the living room as proof that a giant TV does in fact exist in here, and we are just a normal family who loves movie nights snuggled up on the couch with the dog & football Sundays with all the yummy food during the game (one benefit of having an open concept living/dining room). I purposely placed the TV in a spot where it isn’t the main focal point of the room and designed the space to draw your eye to other much prettier things like the big picture window just to the left of this photo.

Want to try something like this in your living room? See if you can arrange the furniture so the TV isn’t the main focal point in the room, but still has visibility from the majority of your seating. Try making the focus a fireplace, window, or create a gallery wall with pretty artwork if you don’t have any standout architectural elements!

Just a little tidbit of advice I’ve learned & loved & wanted to pass along... Happy Monday, sweet friends!

A little bit of work & a whole lot of relaxing wit A little bit of work & a whole lot of relaxing with my favorite humans this weekend. I have some fun things to share with you on the blog this week & several house projects going on (the dining & living room are looking SO good!!), but I need to recharge and spend some quality time doing my most important job on this Earth... taking care of my people. 🤍

What are your plans for the weekend? Whatever they are, I hope you have a chance to laugh, rest, eat something delicious, and enjoy a little sunshine (even if it’s sitting indoors because it’s very brrrr outside)!

Quite possibly my favorite view in the house. And Quite possibly my favorite view in the house. And also quite possibly the best place for morning snuggles, second cups of coffee, and the occasional Netflix binge. This room was “shiplapped” over 5 years ago now, but it has never felt like a passing fad or overly trendy with a mix of other vintage & traditional elements in the room. These big, wide planks have my whole heart just as much as the day we installed them back in 2015.

What’s your opinion on shiplap? In? Out? Vertical? Horizontal? Focal wall or the entire room? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

NEW! THE ARMSTRONG HOUSE LIVING ROOM REVEAL Last NEW! THE ARMSTRONG HOUSE LIVING ROOM REVEAL

Last time I shared an update on Mom’s house, I had just revealed the completed renovation, and you were able to see all the freshly painted white walls, new carpet & flooring, and a very stark blank canvas. We intentionally made this space light, bright, & neutral since 1) it’s a rental home, and we want it to appeal to a variety of styles. And 2) it’s VERY small, so the light paint makes it feel much more open & spacious than dark paint would! But all those white walls were in desperate need of a warm, cozy touch, and that’s exactly what Mom and I did…
