OMG. Whats it been? Like a whole week or more since I posted a pumpkin recipe? God Forbid. I didn’t want to disappoint you, so I thought that this pumpkin bread with streusal topping might be just the thing to make you very popular this weekend. You think so?

Pumpkin Bread with Oatmeal Streusal

My hubby was groaning just looking at these pictures. Cause this bread is not only incredibly tender and flavorful and delicious on its own, but then you get the double delight with the crumbly, sugary, oatmeal topping that is really like taking the best part of an oatmeal crisp and plopping it on pumpkin bread. Not bad, huh?

Pumpkin Bread with Oatmeal Streusal

We are spending the weekend being extra Halloweeny. Like pumpkin patching it up with the kids, carving pumpkins and then Pete and I are going to a wild Halloween party on Saturday night. We settled on Caesar and Cleopatra. This is a major departure for me since I usually go as things like a giant chicken. Or Scooby doo. But this will definitely be a theatrical Cleopatra, as I am strictly a “non-sexy” kind of Halloween costume wearer.

If our costumes turn out well, I will share a picture. If they don’t, then I sill scrape the whole incident under the carpet and pretend it didn’t happen. Fair enough?

Oh, and last but not least, it is my dads birthday this weekend! Which brings me back to this bread. I am going to make it for him. He is an avid bicyclist and I thought he would enjoy some of this in his bike pack as a special treat. My little family will obviously be happy to devour anything he doesn’t eat! OK- have a great weekend!
