Cooking Steps

Prep loaf pan and make crumb topping
1
  • Grease a 9x5-inch metal baking loaf pan with 1 tsp softened butter.
  • Line the base and sides of the loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang off the sides. (TIP: The overhang will make it easy for you to remove the pumpkin loaf from the pan later.)
  • Whisk together 1/4 cup flour, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, pepitas, 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice mix and 1/8 tsp salt in a medium bowl.
  • Add 2 tbsp softened butter. Using your fingertips, mix dry ingredients with butter until pea-sized clumps form. Set aside. (NOTE: This is your pepita crumble.)


Start pumpkin loaf batter
2
  • Add 2 cups flour, baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt and remaining pumpkin pie spice mix to a large bowl, then whisk to combine.
  • Using a spatula or an electric hand mixer, beat remaining softened butter, 1/4 cup oil and remaining brown sugar together in another large bowl until lightened and combined, 1 min.
  • Add egg and 1 cup pumpkin pie filling to wet mixture, then beat until incorporated. (NOTE: Transfer any leftover pumpkin pie filling to a ziplock bag or container and freeze for a future creation!)
Finish pumpkin loaf batter
3
  • Add 2/3 cup milk to wet mixture, then stir until smooth. Add dry mixture to wet mixture, then stir until combined and no floury steaks remain.
  • Spread batter into the prepared loaf pan, then sprinkle pepita crumble over top.
Finish and serve
4
  • Bake in the middle of the oven until a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean, 45-60 min.
  • Allow loaf to cool on a wire rack for 10 min before removing from the loaf pan.
  • Cool pumpkin loaf completely before cutting into slices with a sharp knife.
