With pumpkins popping up everywhere, my thoughts turn to baking a batch of my Pumpkin Streusel Bread in a cute mini loaf version.

I’m a giver when it comes to baked goods. It may be a gift of a Orange Glazed Poppy Seed Muffins for my friend when our dogs get together for a romp in the yard. Other times my husband delivers Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies to his favorite barbers. Every few months I ship a box loaded Granola Cookies to my son and his college cycling team.
chef cooking tips for making pumpkin streusel bread from scratch
- For success when taking the streusel pumpkin bread out of the pans, thoroughly grease them and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- I love baking in these mini loaf pans and they are perfect for this recipe.
- The batter can also be portioned into muffin pans if you like individual servings.
- Mix the dry ingredients and wet ingredients separately before combining. When they are mixed together, they will be better incorporated.
- My tried and true method for checking if the pumpkin streusel bread is completely baked is with a digital thermometer. There is no guessing if the center is baked through. An internal temperature should be 200 degrees F is ideal
- Don’t be in a rush to unmold the breads. Wait about 15 minutes then run a knife around the edges. The baked treat will easily pop out of the pan.
- Like many baked goods, the pumpkin streusel bread freezes beautifully. Cool the loaves completely on a metal cooling rack. Then wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Store in large resealable bags in the freezer for up to 3 months.

I think you have too much granulated sugar in this recipe. 2 3/4 cups is a lot! I just made a batch with 1 cup less.. will let you know how it turns out. Otherwise looks yummy!
That is the correct amount of sugar. Thanks for your comment.
There’s no applesauce listed in the ingredients yet you say to add it in the instructions
Thanks for catching the mistake Kim. There is no applesauce in the recipe. Happy baking!
Thanks Amy! I’ve made it many times now and they are perfect. In use a mini loaf pan for 25 minutes and it makes around 20. Great recipe
★★★★★
That’s fantastic Kim! I am so glad you enjoy my recipe. It is perfect for this time of year.
Hi,
I split the recipe in half and used 1 loaf pan. The entire center did not cook all the way through. I kept it in the over. for about 40 min on the temperature that you recommended.
★★
The baking time for the recipe is based on using mini loaf pans that are much smaller than a full size loaf pan. Therefore the baking time is less for the smaller pans. Quick bread recipes such as this made in a full size loaf pan require a baking time of anywhere between 50 and 65 minutes.
