# Step-by-Step:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan, then line with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves until thoroughly combined.
03 - In a large bowl, whisk pumpkin purée, eggs, milk, Greek yogurt, brown sugar, melted butter, and vanilla to a smooth consistency.
04 - Add dry ingredients to wet mixture. Fold gently with a spatula until just combined and no dry spots remain. Avoid overmixing.
05 - Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Smooth surface to ensure even baking.
06 - In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar with cinnamon. Sprinkle mixture evenly over batter and drizzle with melted butter.
07 - Place loaf in oven and bake 48 to 55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center emerges clean or with a few moist crumbs.
08 - Allow loaf to cool in pan for 10 minutes. Use parchment overhang to lift out, then transfer to a wire rack. Cool completely before slicing.
