How to Make Cinnamon Swirl Pumpkin Bread Mini Loaves

Ingredients:

• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar, light or dark
• 1/2 cup pure canned pumpkin
• 1/4 cup canola oil (or any neutral oil)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 to 3 tablespoons Cinnamon Sugar (3/4 teaspoon cinnamon for every 1 tablespoon of sugar)

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and adjust the oven rack to the middle position. For mini loaf pans, lightly grease the pans and line them with parchment paper long enough to hang over the sides. This will help lift the bread out later. If using a brownie pan, line five of the wells with 1-inch strips of parchment that hang over the edges.

2. In a medium mixing bowl, add the egg, granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin, oil, and vanilla. Whisk together until smooth.

3. Sift or sprinkle the flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt over the top of the wet ingredients. Whisk until no dry streaks remain. A tip for sifting: set a fine mesh strainer over the bowl with the wet ingredients, add the dry ingredients into it, and sprinkle over the batter.

4. Scoop equal amounts of batter into the prepared baking pan(s). Spoon a generous amount of cinnamon sugar over the batter. Gently swirl the sugar into the top of the batter with a toothpick or knife.

5. For baking, if using a brownie pan, bake for 20 to 23 minutes. For two mini loaf pans, bake for 28 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out mostly clean. Cool the pumpkin bread in the pan on a wire cooling rack for 10 to 15 minutes. Lift the bread out of the baking pan(s) to cool completely on the wire rack.

How to Serve Cinnamon Swirl Pumpkin Bread Mini Loaves

Serve your Cinnamon Swirl Pumpkin Bread Mini Loaves warm or at room temperature. They are great on their own, but you can add a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey for extra sweetness. Enjoy them with a cup of coffee or tea for a delightful afternoon snack!

How to Store Cinnamon Swirl Pumpkin Bread Mini Loaves

Store your mini loaves in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them. Wrap each loaf tightly in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer bag. They can last up to 3 months in the freezer. Thaw them at room temperature when you’re ready to enjoy!

Tips to Make Cinnamon Swirl Pumpkin Bread Mini Loaves

• Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing.
• Don’t overmix the batter; whisk just until combined to keep the loaves tender.
• Adjust the amount of cinnamon sugar based on how sweet you want the swirl to be.
• Experiment with adding nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for a different twist.

Variation

You can change it up by using apple sauce instead of pumpkin for an apple cinnamon bread. You can also add nuts like walnuts or pecans for a crunchy texture!

FAQs

1. Can I use fresh pumpkin instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh pumpkin, but make sure to cook and puree it until smooth before adding it to the recipe.

2. How long do the mini loaves take to bake?
Baking time can vary depending on the pan size. Mini loaf pans take about 28 to 30 minutes, while a brownie pan can take 20 to 23 minutes.

3. Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
Yes! You can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend in equal amounts. Just ensure that your other ingredients are also gluten-free.

Enjoy baking and sharing these delicious mini loaves!
