Ingredients

Units Scale

Main Bread Ingredients:

  • 1 3/4 cups 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
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Cinnamon Swirl:

  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven and prepare pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a mini loaf pan.
  2. Prepare dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, and ginger.
  3. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, oil, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Combine wet and dry: Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined—do not overmix.
  5. Prepare cinnamon swirl: In a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and sugar for the swirl.
  6. 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.
  7. Bake: Bake for 22–28 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. 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.
