Ingredients

Scale
  • Dry Ingredients
    • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 tsp baking soda
    • 1/2 tsp baking powder
    • 1/2 tsp salt
    • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
    • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • Wet Ingredients
    • 1 cup pumpkin puree
    • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
    • 1 cup sugar
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1/4 cup milk
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • For the Topping
    • 1/4 cup butter, melted
    • 1/4 cup sugar + 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

  • Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your loaf pan lightly or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. Mix the Wet Ingredients

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, sugar, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.

3. Combine the Dry Ingredients

  • Slowly add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the wet mixture. Stir until the batter is just combined—avoid over-mixing to keep the bread light and fluffy.

4. Bake

  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Place it in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

5. Add the Cinnamon Sugar Topping

  • While the bread is still warm, brush the top with melted butter and generously sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over it. This creates a sweet, crispy layer that’s absolutely divine.

6. Cool and Serve

  • Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Slice and enjoy the incredible aroma and flavor!

Substitutions and Additions

  • Healthier Version: Swap out half of the all-purpose flour for whole wheat flour, and replace the sugar with coconut sugar or a natural sweetener like honey.
  • Add Nuts: Stir in 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans for extra texture and flavor.
  • Chocolate Lovers: Mix in 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips for a delicious chocolate-pumpkin combo!
