There is plenty of love to share with a batch of Pumpkin Streusel Bread ~ Mini Loaves. These mini pumpkin bread loaves topped with cinnamon streusel are perfect to share with family and friends.
As the weather turns cooler in the fall, my baking goes into overdrive. Sugary shortbread, a big as Texas Sheet cake, chocolate puff pastry rolls and my Great Aunt Rose’s Sour Cream Pound Cake are just a few tasty treats baking my oven. With pumpkins popping up everywhere, my thoughts turn to baking a batch of my Pumpkin Streusel Bread in a cute mini loaf version.

It seems that baking from scratch is now more popular than ever. Filling the kitchen with the aromas of homemade baked goods is intoxicating. Sometimes the baking gets the better of me, and I gift the sweet and sugary love to others.
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. I frequent the grocery store about 5 times a week when I shop for my personal chef clients. My favorite checkout woman receives blueberry muffins to enjoy on her coffee break.
chef cooking tips for pumpkin streusel bread
- 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.
