Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 8X4 loaf pan. For easy removal, fold a long piece of parchment paper to fit into the bottom with the overhang coming up off the sides. This will allow you to lift the bread out of the pan without the streusel coming off. (See image in post.)

Step 2

Spread the canned pumpkin in a thin layer on a plate. Lay a paper towel over the top and press gently to soak up moisture. Discard the paper towel and repeat with a new paper towels, about 4 more times, or until the paper towels soaks up less moisture. (The paper towel won't ever be completely dry, but you will notice it getting less wet.) This reduces extra moisture, making a fluffier bread. Leave the paper towel on and set it aside while you make the streusel topping.

Step 3

For the streusel, in a small bowl combine all the ingredients. Set aside.

Step 4

For the bread, in a large bowl whisk together the pumpkin, eggs, brown sugar, oil, and vanilla until well combined.

Step 5

Stir in the almond flour, cornstarch, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt.

Step 6

Pour into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. Scatter the streusel topping over the batter.

Step 7

Bake on the middle rack for 50-55 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the middle, past the streusel comes out without wet batter. I loosely tented foil over the top for the last 15-20 minutes so the crumb topping does not become too browned before the bread is done. Tip: It's better to error on the side of slightly over baking with almond flour to make sure all the moisture has evaporated.

Step 8

Cool in pan for 10 minutes and lift out with parchment handles to cool on wire rack before slicing.
