Cinnamon Swirl Pumpkin Bread
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray or butter.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
- In a separate bowl, mix together vegetable oil, granulated sugar, eggs, pumpkin puree, and milk until smooth.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the brown sugar and 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon evenly over the batter. Top with the remaining batter, smoothing the top.
- Using a butter knife, gently swirl the cinnamon sugar layer into the batter to create a marbled effect.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

For a crunchy texture, try topping the loaf with a streusel made of butter, flour, and sugar before baking. If you're feeling adventurous, add a handful of chocolate chips or chopped nuts into the batter for added depth.
