Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/8 tsp ground cloves
- 3/4 cup pure pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the cinnamon swirl:
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line 4 mini loaf pans (or one standard loaf pan if preferred).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices.
- In another bowl, mix pumpkin puree, brown sugar, oil, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
- Add dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir just until combined—do not overmix.
- In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar for the swirl.
- Fill each mini loaf pan halfway with batter, sprinkle some cinnamon sugar, then top with remaining batter. Sprinkle more cinnamon sugar on top.
- Bake for 22–26 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool before removing from pans.
Notes
- Yields: 4 mini loaves.
- Perfect for gifting or cozy fall mornings with coffee.
- If you don’t have mini loaf pans, bake the batter in one standard loaf pan and increase bake time to about 45–50 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
- Can substitute melted butter for oil if preferred.
