A delightful, cozy fall treat featuring soft, moist bread infused with aromatic spices and a luscious swirl of cinnamon sugar.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pumpkin purée
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ginger
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour or oats
- ½ cup milk (or dairy alternative)
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup brown sugar (for swirl)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare your loaf pan: Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
- Blend the wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, milk, sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Slowly add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
- Prepare the cinnamon swirl: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and an additional teaspoon of cinnamon.
- Layer and swirl: Pour half of the pumpkin batter into your prepared pan, sprinkle half of the cinnamon mixture on top, then pour the remaining batter and sprinkle the last of the cinnamon sugar. Use a knife to swirl gently.
- Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool and enjoy: Allow to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
