Pumpkin bread gets even more delicious with a finish of sweet streusel and maple glaze. This streusel-topped pumpkin bread makes two loaves, so you can freeze one for later or share one with a friend!
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 8.5 x 4 x 2.5 inch loaf pans.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or in a large bowl with an electric mixer, combine pumpkin, eggs, oil, water, vanilla and sugar until well blended.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice until combined.
Stir the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture until just blended. Pour batter into the prepared pans.
In a medium bowl, mix together the brown sugar, flour, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Add melted butter and stir until small clumps form. Sprinkle over the pumpkin bread batter.
Bake in preheated oven for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow pumpkin bread to cool completely.
Once bread is room temperature, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, maple extract, vanilla and salt. Drizzle glaze over the pumpkin bread. Allow glaze to set and slightly harden before serving.

Make sure you know how to measure flour correctly before you start so this streusel-topped pumpkin bread comes out perfect every time.
Use the same fluff, scoop, and level method for measuring flour to measure your powdered sugar.
Don’t stress if you run out of brown sugar. An easy brown sugar substitute works great in a pinch! I’ve also got a bunch of ways to soften brown sugar if yours hardened in the pantry.
