Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground ginger.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, melted coconut oil, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together until just combined. If using, stir in the chopped pecans or walnuts for the bread.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
To make the crumble nut topping, combine the gluten-free oats, chopped pecans or walnuts, brown sugar, solid coconut oil, gluten-free flour, and ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Use a fork or your fingers to mix until crumbly.
Sprinkle the crumble nut topping evenly over the bread batter in the loaf pan.
Bake the pumpkin bread in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the pumpkin bread once fully cooled. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
