  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 25 minutes
  • Yield: 1 loaf (about 10 slices)

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the cinnamon swirl: ¼ cup brown sugar + 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  4. Gradually add dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup brown sugar and cinnamon for the swirl. Set aside.
  6. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the batter.
  7. Add the remaining batter on top. Sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon sugar mixture, then swirl gently with a knife to create a cinnamon swirl pattern.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • For a more intense cinnamon flavor, increase the cinnamon in the swirl.
  • Store leftover bread tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • For longer storage, freeze slices and reheat as desired.
