A lot of people get pumpkins to carve and let all the delicious insides go to waste.

You want to start with your pumpkin guts. This is the the stringy stuff on the inside of your pumpkin.
Separate the seeds from the stringy guts. We won’t be using the seeds in this recipe. But you can roast the pumpkin seeds for a delicious snack!
2. Puree fresh pumpkin guts in a food processor or blender until smooth. (you will need 1 Cup of pureed pumpkin guts which equals to about 2 cups not pureed)
3. Mix together 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon allspice, 1 and 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
4. Separately mix together 1 and 1/2 cups sugar, pumpkin puree, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup canola oil, 1/4 cup water.
5. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
6.Grease a loaf pan and pour your batter in it.
FOR TOPPING
7. For topping, mix together 1/3 cup light brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 2/3 cup all purpose flour.
8. Melt 4 Tablespoons or half a stick of unsalted butter and mix into flour mixture until crumbly.
9.Crumble Mixture on top of batter.
10. Bake in oven for about an hour or until baked through.
Serve up and enjoy. You can eat it as is which is honestly how I eat it cause it's that delicious! Although, walnuts in the batter would be a delicious add-in! You can heat it up a little in the toaster oven or microwave which is always a good idea. You can top it with ice-cream, whipped cream, and/or caramel. Anything that your heart desires :)
