Do you love the taste of fall without all the work? 

Well, this quick and easy crumble topped pumpkin bread is just the recipe you need!

Warm scented pumpkin bread topped with an oat and walnut studded topping – what’s not to love? 

Plus, because this recipe makes 2 loaves it’s the perfect recipe to give as a gift! 

Who wouldn’t want fresh bread delivered to their door? 

What is pumpkin puree?

Pumpkin puree is easily and commonly found in most US grocery stores. 

It’s just pureed pumpkin in a can – easy, right? 

But, don’t confuse it with pumpkin pie filling. That is a whole different beast! 

If you can’t find canned pumpkin you can always make your own using my handy homemade pumpkin puree recipe!

Can I use something besides walnuts?

Sure! If you’re not a walnut fan you can easily substitute with pecans, hazelnuts, or even almonds. 

My personal favorite in this recipe is pecans!
