This Pumpkin Streusal Bread is perfectly dense and moist with a crunchy cinnamon streusal topping and melty bites of chocolate. Delicious, easy and vegan!
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a greased 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang around the edges for easy removal.
For the streusel topping, use a fork to mix softened vegan butter, flour, sugars and cinnamon until crumbly. Place in the fridge to chill.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the pumpkin purée, oil, brown sugar and maple syrup.
Sift in the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chunks.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth with a spatula. Sprinkle the crumble on top and gently press down to make sure it sticks.
Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean and the top is golden brown. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes then lift on to a wire rack to continue cooling. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
*If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice, substitute 1 tsp cinnamon + 1/4 tsp ground cloves + 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
