FAQs:

1. Can I use pumpkin pie filling instead of pumpkin puree? It’s best to use plain pumpkin puree for this recipe. Pumpkin pie filling contains additional spices and sugar that could alter the flavor and texture.

2. Can I make this recipe in advance? Yes, you can bake the bread ahead of time. Store it as directed and enjoy it fresh for several days, or freeze it for longer storage.

3. Can I substitute the vegetable oil? You can use melted coconut oil or another neutral oil in place of vegetable oil if preferred.

4. Can I add nuts or chocolate chips? Absolutely! Feel free to fold in 1/2 cup of chopped nuts or chocolate chips into the batter for added texture and flavor.

5. How can I make the streusel topping more flavorful? Add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the streusel for an extra layer of spice and flavor.
