Pumpkin Nut Bread with Streusel Topping

Pumpkin Nut Bread with Streusel Topping by Salad Foodie

The comforting smell of fall and winter is in the air as you bake this crunchy and moist pumpkin spice bread. Make the whole loaf for the family or divide into smaller loaf pans for gifting. I love to have an extra loaf in the freezer for those days you just "need something."

The length…
