Main Bread Ingredients:
1 3/4cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1cup canned pumpkin puree
1/2cup granulated sugar
1/2cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1/2cup vegetable oil
1/4cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Cinnamon Swirl:
1/3cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat the oven and prepare pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a mini loaf pan.
Prepare dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, and ginger.
Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, oil, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Combine wet and dry: Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined—do not overmix.
Prepare cinnamon swirl: In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar for the swirl.
Fill and swirl: Fill each mini loaf cavity halfway with batter, then sprinkle a generous layer of cinnamon sugar mixture. Add the remaining batter and top with more cinnamon sugar. Use a toothpick or knife to gently swirl.
Bake: Bake for 22–28 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool: Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
These mini loaves freeze well—wrap tightly in plastic and store for up to 2 months.
For extra moisture, you can substitute part of the oil with applesauce.
