Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
Spices:
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Leavening Agent:
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 350°F (175°C) and thoroughly coating a standard loaf pan with a thin layer of lubricant.
- Create a dry mixture by whisking flour, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and baking soda in a spacious mixing vessel until perfectly integrated.
- Craft a wet foundation by vigorously blending pumpkin puree, white sugar, dark brown sugar, eggs, and vegetable oil until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Gently incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, using delicate folding techniques to prevent overmixing and maintain a tender bread texture.
- Develop a fragrant swirl topping by combining additional sugar and ground cinnamon in a compact container.
- Layer the bread batter strategically: pour half the mixture into the prepared pan, generously scatter the cinnamon-sugar blend across the surface, then carefully cover with remaining batter and smooth the top.
- Position the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 50-55 minutes, monitoring until a inserted testing implement emerges completely clean.
- Allow the freshly baked bread to rest within the pan for 10 minutes, promoting structural stability, then transition to a cooling rack for complete temperature reduction.
- Once thoroughly cooled, slice the aromatic bread and savor each delectable morsel.
Notes
- Swap vegetable oil with coconut oil for a richer, tropical flavor and healthier fat profile.
- Substitute gluten-free flour blend to make the bread suitable for those with wheat sensitivities.
- Add chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter for extra crunch and nutritional boost.
- Reduce sugar by 25% and replace with applesauce to create a lighter, less caloric version of the bread.
