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 (163°C). 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 sugar and orange zest: In a large mixing bowl, mix the 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: Add the softened butter to the sugar mixture and cream together with an electric mixer for about 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
  6. Add pumpkin and vanilla: Add pumpkin puree and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even incorporation.
  7. Incorporate eggs: Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition until completely combined.
  8. Fold in dry ingredients: Gently fold in the dry ingredient mixture until almost combined.
  9. Add orange juice carefully: Add orange juice and mix gently just until incorporated. Use a rubber spatula to avoid overmixing, ensuring a tender crumb.
  10. Prepare for baking: Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top evenly. Sprinkle the chilled streusel topping evenly over the surface.
  11. Bake the bread: Bake for 60 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs attached.
  12. Cool the bread: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then use the parchment paper overhang to transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely.
  13. Make the orange glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, orange zest, and kosher salt. Gradually add orange juice, one tablespoon at a time, until the glaze reaches the desired consistency. Adjust by adding powdered sugar if too thin or more orange juice if too thick, adding ½ tablespoon increments.
  14. Glaze and serve: Once the bread is completely cool, drizzle the orange glaze over the top. Allow the glaze to set for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Room temperature ingredients help create a smooth, even batter.
  • Do not overmix after adding orange juice to maintain a tender texture.
  • The glaze consistency can be adjusted based on your preference for thickness.
  • Use fresh Florida orange juice for the best citrus flavor and natural sweetness.
  • The streusel topping can be made ahead and refrigerated to save time.
  • Ensure the bread is completely cool before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting or running off.
