Ingredients
  

For the Pumpkin Bread:

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

½ teaspoon ground ginger

½ teaspoon salt

½ cup vegetable oil

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 cup pure pumpkin puree (ensure it’s not pumpkin pie filling)

½ cup buttermilk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Streusel Topping:

½ cup all-purpose flour

¼ cup packed brown sugar

¼ cup old-fashioned rolled oats

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ cup unsalted butter, softened

A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper for simple and clean removal later.

    Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 1 ¾ cups of all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt. Ensure the dry ingredients are well combined and set the bowl aside.

      Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, use a whisk or electric mixer to blend together the vegetable oil and granulated sugar until they form a uniform mixture. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the pumpkin puree, buttermilk, and vanilla extract, mixing until the batter is smooth and creamy.

        Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture. Stir gently until just combined, taking care not to overmix. It’s perfectly fine if some small lumps remain.

          Make the Streusel Topping: In a small bowl, mix together ½ cup all-purpose flour, packed brown sugar, rolled oats, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Use a fork or pastry cutter to cut in the softened butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

            Assemble the Bread: Pour your pumpkin bread batter into the prepared loaf pan, ensuring it’s evenly spread. Generously scatter the streusel topping over the surface of the batter for that delightful crunch.

              Bake: Place the loaded loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top of the bread should have a golden-brown hue and a slightly domed shape.

                Cool and Serve: When the pumpkin bread is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice the bread and serve warm with a smear of butter or a dollop of cream cheese for an added treat!

                    Optional Presentation Tips: For a beautiful presentation, serve the slices on a rustic wooden board, garnished with a few additional pumpkin seeds or a sprinkle of cinnamon for visual appeal. Pair it with a warm spiced beverage for a cozy autumn feel!
