parchment paper
9x5 loaf pan

Ingredients

Streusel Topping

1/2 cup butter softened
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 Tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp cinnamon

Cake Batter

1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 Tbsp maple syrup
2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350º F and line a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, adding a 2-inch overhang around the edges for easy removal.
To make the streusel topping, mix the softened butter, flour, sugars, and cinnamon in a bowl with a fork until crumbly. Place the mixture in the fridge to chill.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together with an electric hand mixer, the pumpkin puree, oil, brown sugar, and maple syrup with an electric hand mixer. Next, add the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix with a wooden spoon until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth with a spatula. Sprinkle the streusel topping over the batter.
Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean and the top is golden brown. Cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then lift onto a wire rack to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature. *Caution: Bread will be hot when removed from the oven.

Notes

If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, substitute with 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp ground cloves and 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg.
