  1. Make the crumble (Streusel)

    Preheat oven to 175°C. Line a loaf pan with baking sheet. Prepare the streusel: mix all dry ingredients, then rub in the cold butter until you get crumbs & chill in the fridge until the pumpkin bread is ready.

  1. Making the batter

    For the batter, whisk all dry ingredients in one bowl. Mix the butter with the sugar, add the eggs 1 by 1 mixing well after each addition, then add the pumpkin puree, mix well, add buttermilk, mix well. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ones and do not overmix. Add the chopped walnuts and fold. Pour the batter into a pan lined with baking sheet and top with the streusel (crumble). Bake approx. ~55 min at 180 degrees. For the frosting, just mix the cream cheese and maple syrup together until smooth. Once the bread is cool enough, enjoy with cream cheese frosting and extra maple syrup drizzle!
