Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (210 g)
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree (240 g, not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150 g)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed (100 g)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled (113 g)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/2 cup milk (120 ml, whole or 2%)
  • Streusel Topping:
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (60 g)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed (100 g)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed (56 g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×9-inch (23×23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Make the streusel topping: In a bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in cold butter with a fork or pastry cutter until crumbly. Set aside.
  3. Mix the wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, and milk until smooth.
  4. Add the dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Gradually fold into the wet mixture until just combined—do not overmix.
  5. Assemble: Pour batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle streusel topping evenly over the batter.
  6. Bake: Place in oven and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool & serve: Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes before slicing. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Add a vanilla glaze for extra sweetness, make it nutty with pecans or walnuts, or turn into muffins (20–25 minutes bake time). Store covered at room temp for 2 days, refrigerate up to 5 days, or freeze for 2 months.
