Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 0.5 tsp baking powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon Use fresh for best flavor
- 0.5 tsp nutmeg Use fresh for best flavor
Wet Ingredients
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cups pumpkin puree canned or homemade
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Cinnamon Swirl
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour your mini loaf pans or line them with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and oil until smooth. Add the eggs, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract. Stir until well blended.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon for the swirl.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pans, followed by a sprinkling of the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Pour the remaining batter on top and finish with another sprinkle of the swirl mixture.
- Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the batter to create a beautiful marbled effect.
Baking
- Place the pans in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Slice and serve warm—or save it for later!
Notes
For best flavor, use fresh spices. Don’t overmix the batter to keep your bread fluffy. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or up to a week in the refrigerator. Freeze for longer storage.
