# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Combine 30 g granulated sugar, 55 g melted unsalted butter, 65 g all-purpose flour and 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice in a small bowl. Mix until crumbly and refrigerate while preparing the batter.
02 - Set oven to 162°C. Grease a 23x13 cm loaf pan and line it with parchment paper extending over the long edges for easy removal.
03 - Whisk together 230 g all-purpose flour, baking soda, 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and kosher salt in a bowl. Set aside.
04 - Using a mixer or whisk, blend 130 g granulated sugar, 150 g light brown sugar, 120 g pumpkin puree, and 60 ml vegetable oil until uniform. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly.
05 - Add half of the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, then pour in milk and mix. Add remaining dry ingredients until batter is smooth and homogenous.
06 - Transfer batter into prepared pan and smooth surface evenly. Remove streusel from fridge and crumble evenly over the batter.
07 - Bake for 80 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If needed, extend baking time in 5-minute intervals.
08 - Mix powdered sugar and pure maple syrup until smooth. Drizzle over cooled loaf before slicing.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Use 100% pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for authentic flavor and texture.
02 - Oven temperatures vary; check doneness with a toothpick to ensure proper baking.
