I couldn’t let November slip away without sharing one more pumpkin recipe. This Vegan Pumpkin Streusel Bread is incredibly moist, has tons of pumpkin spice flavor and doesn’t use any eggs or dairy, a plus if you’re out of them or vegan!

Pumpkin bread on it’s own is a favorite of mine, but in case you want to take it up a notch try adding streusel to the top. It turns an already delicious breakfast or dessert into something magical. This bread is a quick bread, which means you won’t need any special equipment like a mixer to make it.

I like to keep my baking simple because I am by no means gifted when it comes to fancy, time consuming baked goods. This vegan pumpkin bread though is right up my alley!

Ingredients Needed to Make Vegan Pumpkin Streusel Bread

  • whole wheat and all purpose flour

How to Make Vegan Pumpkin Streusel Bread

Start by making the streusel topping. Combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and melted coconut oil in a small bowl. Use a fork to combine everything together until crumbles form. Keep the streusel in the refrigerator while you make the bread.

Preheat the oven and spray a 9×5 loaf pan with cooking spray. whisk together the flours, baking soda and spices in a bowl. In a larger bowl whisk together the pumpkin purée, maple syrup, oil, milk and vanilla. Pour the wet in with the dry and stir everything together with a spatula. When it’s combined, pour it into the loaf pan.

Top the batter with the streusel and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. If the streusel starts to get too brown on top, place a piece of foil loosely over the bread. I have found that I need to do this for the last 10 or so minutes of baking.

Tips and FAQ

  • Make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature. This is particularly important when working with melted coconut oil. If the ingredients are cold the coconut oil will solidify in them and won’t distribute evenly into the batter.
  • Line the bottom of the loaf pan with parchment paper and spray it with oil as well to ensure that the bread doesn’t stick to the pan. 
  • If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice you can make your own. Here’s a pumpkin pie spice recipe.

Can I Use Vegan Butter Instead of Coconut Oil?

Yes. I’ve made it both ways, but prefer to use the coconut oil because personally I’m not a fan of the flavor vegan butter has and the ingredients used in many of them.

Can I Make the Bread Without the Streusel?

Yes. If you would prefer to skip the streusel the pumpkin bread is delicious on it’s own. It won’t be as sweet without it so if this is a concern I recommend using 2/3 cup of maple syrup versus a 1/2 cup. 

Can I Freeze the Vegan Pumpkin Streusel Bread?

Yes. Let the bread cool completely. Once cooled, wrap it in plastic wrap and then wrap that in foil. Store the bread in a resealable freezer bag for 2-3 months.
