Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350℉. Generously grease an 8-or-9″ light metal loaf pan with cooking spray, or line it with parchment paper and grease. Set aside. (See Note).
For the Bread: In a large bowl, combine the softened butter with the brown sugar using a handheld electric mixer, creaming until smooth, about 1 minute. Add in the pumpkin, followed by the eggs, mixing well after each addition. Next, add in the spices, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and flour and mix on low speed until just barely combined. Avoid over-mixing as this may lead to tough bread; aim for just barely combined.
Spread the bread batter into the prepared pan in an even layer; set aside. Meanwhile, prepare your streusel: in a medium bowl, mix the melted butter, flour, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice and stir until the mixture resembles wet sand and is fully combined. Drop heaping handfuls of the streusel evenly over the top of the bread.
Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center of the bread comes out clean or with moist, but not wet, crumbs. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
Lastly, prepare your glaze: in a medium bowl, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar, maple extract, maple syrup, and milk until a soft glaze forms. Drizzle the glaze evenly over the bread. Let set before slicing to serve.
