Instructions

Making the Bread:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal after baking.
2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Set this aside for later.
3. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir gently until everything is just combined—be careful not to overmix.
5. Transfer to the Pan: Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Streusel Topping:

1. Make the Streusel: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, melted butter, all-purpose flour, and cinnamon. Mix until the mixture becomes crumbly.
2. Top the Bread: Sprinkle the streusel mixture evenly over the batter in the pan.
3. Bake: Bake the bread for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The streusel should turn golden and crisp as the bread bakes.
4. Cool: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Honey Glaze:

1. Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and honey until smooth and fully combined.
2. Glaze the Bread: Drizzle the honey glaze over the cooled bread, letting it set for a few minutes before slicing.

This pumpkin bread with streusel topping and honey glaze is a delightful treat that can be enjoyed at any time.
