Plant Based Pumpkin Walnut Streusel Bread

This pumpkin bread is perfect for fall and the holidays. In fact, I'm making this for my Thanksgiving dessert because my husband loves it so much. I'm making the plant-based version these days, but I've also included the conventional version too. I have adapted this recipe from my good friend, Chef Judie Byrd's original recipe. Everything she makes is so good!
