Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
In another bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
To make the streusel topping, mix the remaining 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup of brown sugar, melted butter, rolled oats, and chopped pecans (if using) in a small bowl. The texture should resemble coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter in the loaf pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
