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 plus 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 the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, kosher salt, and orange zest. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Place the streusel mixture in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the pumpkin bread batter.
  2. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal of the bread once baked. Set the prepared pan aside.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, kosher salt, ground cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice until well combined and free of clumps. Set this dry mixture 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 zest together for about 30 seconds to release the citrus oils and enhance the flavor.
  5. Cream Butter and Sugars: Add the softened unsalted butter to the sugar mixture and cream together using an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
  6. Add Pumpkin and Vanilla: Add the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and mix until thoroughly combined. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
  7. Add Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to ensure a smooth batter.
  8. Incorporate Dry Ingredients and Orange Juice: Gently fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients until almost combined. Then, add the Florida orange juice and mix gently just until fully incorporated. Use a rubber spatula to avoid overmixing, which can toughen the bread.
  9. Pour and Top Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Evenly sprinkle the chilled streusel mixture over the surface of the batter.
  10. Bake: Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 60 to 65 minutes. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  11. Cool Bread: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bread out of the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Prepare Orange Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, orange zest, and kosher salt. Gradually add Florida orange juice, one tablespoon at a time, until the glaze reaches your desired consistency. If the glaze is too thin, add more powdered sugar; if too thick, add more orange juice in ½ tablespoon increments.
  13. 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. Enjoy your flavorful pumpkin bread with a bright, citrusy finish!

Notes

  • Use fresh Florida Orange Juice for the best citrus flavor and brightness.
  • Do not overmix the batter after adding the orange juice to keep the bread tender and moist.
  • Make sure the butter is softened for easier creaming, but keep butter cold for the streusel topping for a better crumbly texture.
  • Allow the bread to cool completely before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting and running off.
  • You can store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
  • Freezing the bread is possible—wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before glazing and serving.
