How to Make Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Bread

Step 1: Preheat & Prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard loaf pan with butter or cooking spray to ensure easy removal later.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and baking soda. Set aside. This mix is what gives your bread its cozy, spiced flavor.

Step 3: Combine the Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vegetable oil until smooth. The pumpkin puree not only adds flavor but also keeps the bread moist and tender.

Step 4: Bring it All Together

Slowly fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; we want to keep that bread light and fluffy!

Step 5: Create the Cinnamon Swirl

In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon for your swirl.

Step 6: Layer the Batter

Pour half of the bread batter into your prepared loaf pan. Then, generously sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top. Add the remaining batter, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7: Bake

Place the pan into the oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Your kitchen will smell divine by now!

Step 8: Cool & Enjoy

Once baked, allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Let it cool completely before slicing… if you can resist the temptation that long!

Tips for Making the Best Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Bread

• Don’t overmix the batter: Stirring too much can make the bread dense. Fold gently for a fluffier texture.
• Add-ins for extra flair: Want to jazz it up? Toss in some chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or even a handful of raisins to the batter.
• Double the swirl: If you’re a cinnamon lover, feel free to make extra cinnamon-sugar mixture for a thicker swirl!

What to Serve with Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Bread

This bread is delicious on its own, but here are some ideas to take it up a notch:

• A smear of butter or cream cheese for added richness.
• A drizzle of maple syrup or honey for an extra touch of sweetness.
• Serve alongside a hot cup of coffee or chai tea for the perfect fall pairing.

Storing Your Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Bread

• Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container on the counter for up to 3 days.
• Refrigerate: For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 5 days.
• Freeze: Wrap slices individually in plastic wrap, then place in a freezer-safe bag. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. Just thaw and warm up before serving!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use fresh pumpkin puree instead of canned?

Absolutely! Just make sure it’s not too watery. If your puree is on the thin side, strain it through cheesecloth before using.

Can I make this bread gluten-free?

Yes! Swap the all-purpose flour with a good-quality gluten-free flour blend that includes xanthan gum.

Can I substitute the vegetable oil?

You can replace the vegetable oil with melted coconut oil, melted butter, or even applesauce for a slightly healthier option.
