Cooking Steps
- Grease a 9x5-inch metal baking loaf pan with 1 tsp softened butter.
- Line the base and sides of the loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang off the sides. (TIP: The overhang will make it easy for you to remove the pumpkin loaf from the pan later.)
- Whisk together 1/4 cup flour, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, pepitas, 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice mix and 1/8 tsp salt in a medium bowl.
- Add 2 tbsp softened butter. Using your fingertips, mix dry ingredients with butter until pea-sized clumps form. Set aside. (NOTE: This is your pepita crumble.)
- Measure out 2 cups flour into a large bowl. Add baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt and remaining pumpkin pie spice mix, then whisk to combine.
- Using a spatula or an electric hand mixer, beat remaining softened butter, 1/4 cup oil and remaining brown sugar together in another large bowl until lightened and combined, 1 min.
- Add egg and 1 cup of pumpkin pie filling, then beat until incorporated. (NOTE: Transfer any leftover pumpkin pie filling to a ziplock bag or container and freeze for a future creation!)
- Add 2/3 cup milk and stir until smooth. Add flour mixture and stir until combined and no floury steaks remain.
- Spread batter into the prepared loaf pan, then sprinkle pepita crumble over top.
- Bake in the middle of the oven until a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean, 45-60 min.
- Allow loaf to cool on a wire rack for 10 min before removing from the loaf pan.
- Cool pumpkin loaf completely before cutting into desired amount of slices with a sharp knife.
