Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the pumpkin bread batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan.
To make the pecan topping, combine the chopped pecans, cold cubed butter, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the pecan topping evenly over the pumpkin bread batter.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the pecan-topped pumpkin bread. Enjoy with your favorite hot beverage or as a sweet treat!
