Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon cloves (optional)
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (for cinnamon swirl)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (for cinnamon swirl)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for maple glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (for maple glaze)
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk (for maple glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon for the swirl.
  6. Pour half of the pumpkin batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the batter. Add the remaining batter, followed by the rest of the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  7. Using a knife, swirl the cinnamon-sugar into the batter to create a marbled effect.
  8. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. While the bread cools, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk until smooth and pourable.
  10. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled pumpkin bread. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

[‘Don’t overmix the batter to keep the bread light and fluffy.’, ‘Bring eggs to room temperature for easier mixing.’, ‘Check doneness with a toothpick—it should come out with moist crumbs.’, ‘Let the bread cool completely before slicing for clean cuts.’, ‘Use a gentle hand when swirling the cinnamon mixture for a beautiful marbled look.’]
