Ingredients

Scale

Pumpkin Orange Bread

  • ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons Florida Orange Juice, room temperature
  • 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 teaspoons orange zest
  • ¾ cup pure pumpkin puree
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2½ teaspoons vanilla extract

Streusel

  • 7 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold

Orange Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons Florida Orange Juice, as needed to thin
  • 4 teaspoons orange zest
  • ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Make the streusel: In a small bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, kosher salt, and orange zest. Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Place in the refrigerator while preparing the pumpkin loaf.
  2. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal. Set aside.
  3. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, kosher salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice until well combined and no clumps remain. Set aside.
  4. Combine sugars and orange zest: In a large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, and orange zest. Using an electric mixer or your fingers, rub the sugars and orange zest together for about 30 seconds to release the citrus oils.
  5. Cream butter and sugar mixture: Add softened butter to the sugar mixture and cream together with an electric mixer for about 2 minutes until well combined and fluffy.
  6. Add pumpkin and vanilla: Mix in pumpkin puree and vanilla extract until well blended. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is incorporated.
  7. Add eggs: Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition until completely combined.
  8. Incorporate dry ingredients and orange juice: Gently fold in the dry ingredient mixture until almost combined. Add orange juice and mix gently just until incorporated, being careful not to overmix. Use a rubber spatula for gentle folding.
  9. Pour batter and add streusel: Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle the chilled streusel evenly over the surface.
  10. Bake: Bake for 60 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs attached.
  11. Cool bread: Allow bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then use the parchment overhang to transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
  12. Prepare the orange glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, orange zest, and kosher salt. Gradually add orange juice, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached. Adjust thickness by adding more powdered sugar or orange juice as needed.
  13. Glaze and serve: Once the bread is completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the top. Let the glaze set for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Make sure all wet ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing and texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter after adding the flour mixture and orange juice to keep the bread tender.
  • The streusel can be made ahead and kept in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • Use fresh Florida orange juice and zest for the best flavor.
  • Allow bread to cool completely before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting and running off.
  • This bread freezes well; wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months.
