1 tsp baking soda
-
1/2 tsp baking powder
-
1/2 tsp salt
-
1 tsp ground cinnamon
-
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1 cup granulated sugar
-
1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup milk

1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Cinnamon Swirl:
-
1/4 cup granulated sugar
-
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Set to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour four mini loaf pans or line with parchment.
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices.
-
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk oil, both sugars, eggs, pumpkin puree, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
-
Combine Wet and Dry: Gently stir the dry mix into the wet mix until just combined. Don’t overmix.
-
Make the Swirl Mix: Stir the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
-
Layer the Batter: Spoon a layer of batter into each mini loaf pan, sprinkle with swirl mix, then add more batter and another swirl layer. Finish with a final layer of batter.
-
Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 28–32 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
-
Cool: Let the loaves rest in pans for 10 minutes, then remove to a rack to cool completely.
Notes
Make sure your pumpkin puree is 100% pure pumpkin—not pumpkin pie mix. Also, don’t overmix the batter; it’ll toughen up your bread.
