A buttery cinnamon topping gives Pumpkin Streusel Bread a crisp, sweet finish, while the soft crumb and warm spices make each slice feel like a cozy seasonal treat.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Spray one 9x5-inch loaf pan with baking spray. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the butter, oil, and sugars. Mix until smooth. Add the pumpkin puree, water, and vanilla. Mix until smooth. Add one egg at a time, mixing after each addition.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. Whisk together. With mixing speed on low, gradually add the dry ingredients. Mix until just incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Set aside.
To Make the Topping
In a small mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry blender. The mixture should resemble coarse crumbs. Sprinkle on top of the batter along with the nuts and cinnamon chips.
Place in the oven and bake for 1 hour. The topping will begin to darken but should not burn. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 1 hour before removing.
