A sweet bread featuring a pumpkin spice base with a rich cinnamon swirl throughout.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (for swirl)
- 2 tablespoons softened butter (for swirl)
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for swirl)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- For the swirl, mix the brown sugar, softened butter, and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon in a small bowl until crumbly.
- Pour half of the pumpkin batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon swirl mixture evenly over the batter.
- Pour the remaining pumpkin batter over the swirl mixture.
- Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the top layer of batter a few times.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a moister bread, you can substitute applesauce for some of the oil.
- If the top browns too quickly during baking, loosely cover it with aluminum foil for the last 15 minutes.
