Vegan Pumpkin Loaf with Streusel Topping

17 comments

Vegan pumpkin loaf with a crispy, buttery, cinnamon packed streusel topping! Don’t settle for an over-priced boring slice of pumpkin bread from Starbucks when you can make a whole loaf yourself that is plant-based, and way more delicious!

UPDATE OCTOBER 2022:

This weekend I made this recipe for Sunday coffee but with a twist! I wanted more of a coffee cake vibe with a gooey cinnamon swirl in the middle, so here is how to do that:

  1. Instead of adding all of the batter to the loaf pan, add half and spread in an even layer.
  2. Mix together 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon. Sprinkle over the loaf.
  3. Add the other half of the batter and carefully spread into an even layer. Then add the streusel topping and bake as directed. I’m not sure why, but it took about 5 extra minutes to bake this time, and it was so delicious! Highly recommend 🙂

  1. This looks so delicious! Absolutely making this now that the weather is getting cooler. Would I be able to use blackstrap molasses instead of regular molasses? I just don’t have any regular molasses on hand haha. Thank you 🙂

    Did it today and it tastes so rich and good!! Don’t do the same mistake I did by taking a mold that’s too small (21×11 cm) as the center of the cake took forever to cook haha… Also if this can help, here is the cup to grams equivalent : 1 3/4 cup flour = 270 grams, 1 cup sugar = 200 g, 1/2 cup oil = 90 g, 1 cup pumpkin purée = 260 g. For the streusel, 1/4 cup butter = 40 g, 1/4 cup flour = 40 g

  3. Hi! Looks so yummy I want to make it. What was the size of your loaf pan?

  4. This loaf is perfect! I subbed maple syrup for molasses and it turned out great (-:

  5. Can I substitute molasses for maple syrup?

  6. Hi Liv,
    I enjoy your recipes and can’t wait to try the pumpkin loaf. Quick question, would you clarify if the recipe calls for 1cup or 3/4cup or 1and 3/4 cups of flour. Thank you so much!

  7. I have to start this off by saying I’m not vegan and therefore I am typically eating non-vegan bakery items. And let’s be real – vegan baked goods can sometimes be dry or have weird textures. Not so with this bread! I made it at work (since our break room has an oven) and every single co-worker I shared it with was obsessed! I totally botched the streusel topping too because I overmixed it, but it STILL turned out amazing. I would 100% recommend this recipe to anyone. It totally beats the pants off my old non-vegan recipe and is my new go-to! Thanks Liv!

  8. Does anyone know how to make this recipe gluten-free?

  9. Great texture and delicious streusel! My streusel was much darker and it caved a bit in the center. I think I’ll use white sugar next time. 🙂

  10. I absolutely loved this recipe! I saw this in your Instagram page and looked so delicious I had to try it!
    I did make two loaves one with the cinnamon and sugar center and one without, both were soo scrumptious!

    Can I make this into muffins?
