Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Swirl Mixture
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan thoroughly with butter or nonstick spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal after baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger to evenly distribute the spices and leavening agent.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, blend the pumpkin puree, melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Combine: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredient bowl, mixing gently and just until combined to avoid overmixing which can toughen the bread.
- Create the Swirl: Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar swirl mixture over the batter. Then gently pour the remaining batter on top. Using a knife, swirl the batter to create a marbled effect.
- Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The bread should be golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy your spiced pumpkin bread.
Notes
- Use canned or homemade pumpkin puree for best results.
- To check doneness, insert a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with coconut oil or a plant-based margarine.
- Swirling the batter should be done gently to avoid blending the cinnamon sugar completely into the batter.
- Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
