Preheat oven to 350° F. and spray a 9X5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Place a piece of parchment into the loaf pan so that it is long enough on both sides to lift the bread out of the pan. Doing this will keep the topping intact.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, 1 3/4 teaspoons pumpkin spice, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs with a fork. Add the pumpkin puree, butter, and milk. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix before just combined.
Pour batter into prepared loaf pan, and smooth the top.
In a small bowl, mix the raw sugar with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of the pumpkin spice. Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over the top of the bread.
Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Allow pan to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before lifting the bread from pan with the parchment. The bread will cut more easily if it's been cooled completely.
Notes
*If you choose not to use pumpkin spice, you may use 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (divided as you'll use 1/2 teaspoon to mix with the raw sugar for the topping), 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves.
