Pumpkin Bread with Crumble Topping

Welcome to Pumpkin season…otherwise known as the months of September, October and November. Yes Fall has arrived, which means pumpkin recipes abound with wafts of cinnamon, nutmeg and clove starting to fill the air. This is the season I love hanging out in the kitchen, whipping up some of my favorite recipes and filling the house with the scents of the season. YUM!


If you love pumpkin (and who doesn’t?!) then you simply must whip up a loaf of this Pumpkin Bread with Crumble Topping! The crumble topping screams “indulgence” while the simplicity of it’s healthy ingredients means you can enjoy a slice freely and save that planned indulgence for something else during the week.

Ingredients

Pumpkin Bread with Crumble Topping

  • 1 & 1/2 C whole wheat flour (or gluten free sub)

  • 1 Tbsp. baking soda

  • 1 tsp. baking powder

  • 1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 C pumpkin puree

  • 1/2 C unsweetened applesauce
