Instructions
Streusel
- In a small bowl, mix together all of the dry ingredients. Pour in the melted butter and mix with a fork until just combined. It should look look crumbly. Chill in the fridge until ready to use.
Pumpkin Bread
- Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease and line a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan. Keep the short side un-lined.
- Sift the dry ingredients to a bowl and whisk.
- Add the eggs to a bowl and whisk. Add remaining wet ingredients and whisk until well combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and and mix with a spatula using a scoop and fold method, just until there are no streaks of flour.
- Pour into prepared pan and use the back of the spatula to spread evenly. Tap the loaf pan on the counter twice.
- If the streusel has extra large crumbles, break them up with your fingers and add it on top of the batter evenly.
- Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 20 minutes. Reduce temp to 325°F (160°C) and bake for another 55-70 minutes. Please adjust the baking time according to your oven. If you have a temperature thermometer, insert it into the middle of the loaf and check to see if it reaches 200-210 F. If its below this temperature, continue to bake in 5-10 minute increments until it does. In the meantime, make the glaze (see below).
- Once fully baked, run a offset spatula or knife on the side that is not lined. Cool in the pan for 20 minutes. Then lift the loaf out of the pan and place on a wire rack. Drizzle the loaf with the glaze while still warm. Serve and enjoy!!
Brown Butter Glaze
- Add butter to a pan over medium heat. Swirl the pan as it melts. Stir frequently until it begins to smell nutty and begin seeing brown specs.

- Transfer to another bowl and whisk in the miso until well combined. Add the powder sugar, vanilla and 1 tbsp of milk and whisk until smooth. Add more milk in 1/2 tsp increments until desired consistency.
Notes
- *If allergic to nuts, swap almond flour for all purpose flour in the streusel and 1/3 cup (40 g) of all purpose flour and an additional 1 tsp of oil for the batter.
