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
Topping
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature before baking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, sugar, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until smooth and well blended.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients—flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg—into the wet mixture, stirring slowly to combine without overmixing.
- Bake: Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Add Cinnamon Sugar Topping: Once the bread is out of the oven and still warm, brush the top with melted butter. Then, evenly sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top for a sweet, crunchy finish.
- Serve: Allow the bread to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature to enjoy the comforting fall flavors.
Notes
- Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for best results.
- Check doneness with a toothpick to avoid under or overbaking.
- You can substitute vegetable oil with melted coconut oil for a different flavor.
- Store leftovers tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
