Step 1

Preheat oven to 350. Spray 5 (5x3 inch) loaf pans with nonstick baking spray with flour.

In a large bowl, beat butter and next 3 ingredients at medium speed with a mixer until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in pumpkin.

In a medium bowl, combine flour and next 4 ingredients. Add to butter mixture, alternately with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour mixture, beating just until combined after each addition. Spoon batter into prepared pans. Sprinkle with Oatmeal Streusel.
