Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and prepare a baking pan by generously spraying with baking spray. I used a 12” round pan so I could cut into slices but a regular 8x8 or 9x9 pan would work also!
Cut bread into equal size pieces and place in the bottom of your prepared pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together pure pumpkin, milk, eggs, granulated sugar, 1/4 cup dark brown sugar, 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract and salt.
Pour over your layer of bread in your pan and mix so that all of your bread is coated in the mixture.
In another small bowl whisk together flour, 1/3 cup dark brown sugar, 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice and chopped pecans. Add in melted butter and mix until combined.
Top bread base with pecan topping. It won’t be enough to cover the entire top, just try to spread it out evenly over the top of the bread.
Cover with tin foil and bake for 40 minutes or until edges are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
Serve warm and enjoy!
