Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350℉. Prepare a light metal loaf pan by liberally greasing it with cooking spray or lining it with parchment paper followed by greasing.
In a large bowl, combine the softened butter with dark brown sugar using your handheld electric mixer. Cream until smooth for about 1 minute. Add in the pumpkin puree followed by eggs, mixing well after each addition. Next, add in spices, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and flour. Mix on low speed until just barely combined—avoid over-mixing to keep your bread tender.
Spread the batter evenly into your prepared pan. In a medium bowl, combine melted butter, flour, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir until it resembles wet sand. Drop heaping handfuls of streusel all over the top of your bread batter.
Bake for 55–60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs. Allow cooling completely on a wire rack.
In another medium bowl, whisk together confectioners' sugar, maple extract, maple syrup, and milk until you achieve a soft glaze consistency. Drizzle this glaze evenly over your cooled Pumpkin Streusel Bread. Let it set before slicing to serve.
