Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups (220 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (120 ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240 g) canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup (65 g) brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅓ cup (65 g) brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk (or dairy-free alternative)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your loaf pan with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, oil, eggs, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon for the cinnamon swirl.
  6. Pour half of the pumpkin bread batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the top. Add the remaining batter and smooth it out with a spatula.
  7. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  8. In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar, milk, and vanilla. Heat over medium-low until the sugar dissolves, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  9. Once the bread is cool, drizzle the glaze over the top. Let it set for a few minutes before slicing.

Notes

[‘Don’t overmix the batter to avoid a dense loaf.’, ‘Use room temperature eggs for better mixing.’, ‘For a perfect cinnamon swirl, use a knife to gently drag through the batter after layering the cinnamon sugar.’, ‘Let the bread cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling.’, ‘The bread tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld together.’]
