Crumbly Pumpkin Bread
Description
Crumbly Pumpkin Bread combines dry ingredients such as flour, sugars, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and baking powder with a wet mixture of pumpkin puree, coconut oil, melted butter, applesauce, eggs, and vanilla. The batter is mixed until just moist to retain a tender texture. It is baked in mini loaf pans for individual servings, each topped generously with a streusel-like crumb topping made from flour, sugars, pumpkin pie spice, and melted butter. The topping creates a gentle crunch against the soft pumpkin bread.
This bread offers a balance of moisture from the pumpkin and applesauce with a spiced sweetness enhanced by the crumb topping. It works well for a quick breakfast or afternoon snack, especially during fall months. The mini loaf size makes it convenient for portion control and sharing.
