Streusel-Topped Pumpkin Bread - by HappyPiranha

One of my older kids brought this recipe home from first grade, so I have no idea where it came from before that. Our copy of the recipe is blotchy, stained, and crumpled from use. All three kids love this recipe.

Streusel-Topped Pumpkin Bread

Combine, stir and set aside:
2 eggs
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup pumpkin

Sift together:
1 1/4 cup sugar
1 2/3 cup all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ginger
3/4 teaspoons salt

Stir mixtures together. Add 1/2 cup raisins and 1/2 cup nuts if desired. Pour into greased loaf pan.

Make streusel topping and sprinkle on top of pumpkin batter.
1/3 cup flour
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon firm margarine

Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 to 50 minutes.

(I usually double the recipe to use up all of one can of canned pumpkin - NOT pumpkin pie mix, just plain pumpkin. It freezes beautifully, but you have to sneak the bread away when the kids aren't looking!)
