1/2cupall purpose flour

1/4cupchopped pecans
For the Glaze:

1-2teaspoonsmilk (more or lessdepending 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!
