Serves : 6-8


Topping:

2 tbsps. brown sugar
1 tbsp. all-purpose flour
1 tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
½ tsp. cinnamon

Loaf Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup whole wheat flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. ginger powder
½ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. allspice
¼ tsp. nutmeg
1 cup canned pumpkin
½ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 large eggs, beaten
¼ cup milk or water
1 tsp. vanilla extract
½ cup chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 x 5” loaf pan with cooking spray or oil.

In a bowl, combine all four topping ingredients and blend together with fingers until crumbs form. In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, salt,
allspice and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, mix together the pumpkin, olive oil, eggs, milk and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix lightly until moistened.

Fold in the walnuts and pour into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle topping evenly over the surface of the loaf.

Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the loaf comes out clean.

Cool in the pan for 5 minutes and then remove and cool on a rack.
