# Detailed Cooking Steps:

01 - Mix 65 g flour, 55 g melted butter, 30 g white sugar, and 1/4 tsp pumpkin spice in a small bowl. Stir until crumbly and chill it while you get the batter ready.
02 - Turn oven on to 162°C. Grease a 23x13 cm loaf pan and cover with parchment paper that hangs over the edges so you can lift out the bread easily.
03 - In a bowl, stir together 230 g flour, baking soda, 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin spice, cinnamon, and salt. Put aside.
04 - Beat 130 g sugar, 150 g brown sugar, pumpkin, and oil until smooth. Then add eggs and vanilla, and mix well.
05 - Fold in half the dry stuff, pour in milk and stir. Then mix in the rest of the dry mix until smooth with no lumps.
06 - Pour batter into your pan and smooth the top. Take out the streusel from the fridge and sprinkle it evenly over the batter.
07 - Bake about 80 minutes till a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean. If it's not ready, bake more in 5-minute chunks.
08 - Stir together the powdered sugar and maple syrup until nice and smooth. Pour over the loaf once it's cool before you slice it.

# Helpful Hints:

01 - Choose real pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie filling to get the best taste and texture.
02 - Ovens differ so poke the bread to check it’s done instead of relying just on time.
