2. Brown sugar topping: In a small bowl with a fork blend all ingredients until crumbly. Sprinkle over the top of the pumpkin mixture and bake for 60 minutes or until a tooth pick comes out clean.
3. Caramel Icing: In a small sauce pan melt the butter, brown sugar and milk. Cook for one minute until everything is melted and mixture starts a slight boil. Remove from the heat and add remaining ingredients and beat on low until all items are combined. Cool slightly. Using a plastic storage bag with the corner cut off or a cake decorating bag drizzle caramel icing across the top of the pumpkin bread.

Delicious pumpkin bread! I love the orange juice in this recipe, and the caramel topping. I omited the raisins, and used 2 eggs and 1 egg white. Perfect for this chilly fall weather!
