Ingredients

Pumpkin Batter

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup pumpkin purée
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Cinnamon Swirl

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini loaf pan thoroughly with cooking spray or butter.
  2. Mix Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and melted butter until it forms a thick, sandy paste. Set aside.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
  4. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Combine: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture using a spatula just until moistened.
  6. Layer the Swirl: Spoon half of the pumpkin batter into your mini loaf pans. Drop small spoonfuls of the cinnamon mixture over the batter, then use a toothpick or knife to gently swirl it around. Top with the remaining pumpkin batter and repeat the cinnamon swirl on top.
  7. Bake: Bake for 30 to 35 minutes (adjusting time if using standard mini loaf sizes), or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool before slicing and serving!
