Ingredients
  

For the loaf:

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie filling
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tsp. all spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Streusel Topping:

  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter cut into pieces (or you can use 1/4 cup canola oil)
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans

For the Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 teaspoons milk (more or less depending on the consistency you're looking for.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray or butter.
  • For the streusel, combine the sugar, flour and cinnamon.  Cut in the butter.  Then stir in the pecans.  Set aside.
  • For the loaf: Place the oil, egg whites, pumpkin puree and vanilla extract in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer until it begins to thicken.  In a separate bowl, whisk all the dry ingredients until combined. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into prepared loaf pan.  Take a handful of streusel and press it lightly into the loaf.  Then add more on top. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then carefully remove from pan (be careful not to lose all the streusel from the top!).  Allow it to cool for 30 minutes.
  • For the glaze: combine sugar and milk until it is your desired consistency.  Drizzle over the loaf (or pour, I won't tell! haha)

Notes

Tip: For a more flavorful glaze, add a drop of vanilla!
