Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 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 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 to 3 tablespoons cinnamon sugar (3/4 teaspoon cinnamon for every 1 tablespoon of sugar)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). For mini loaf pans, lightly grease and line with parchment paper. For a brownie pan, line 5 wells with 1-inch strips of parchment paper to hang over the sides. - Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin, oil, and vanilla until smooth. - Sift and Combine Dry Ingredients:
Sift or sprinkle the flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt over the wet ingredients. Whisk until no dry streaks remain. - Prepare the Batter:
Scoop even amounts of batter into the prepared baking pan(s). Spoon a generous amount of cinnamon sugar over the batter, and gently swirl it on top with a toothpick or knife. - Bake:
For a brownie pan, bake for 20-23 minutes. For mini loaf pans, bake for 28-30 minutes. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. Cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Serving Size: This is a small batch recipe that can be doubled for a 9×5-inch loaf pan. Check at 50 minutes if doubling.
- Brown Sugar: Light or dark will work. Light provides a more subtle flavor.
- Extra Spice: For more spice, add an extra 1/4 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon to the batter.
- Pumpkin: Use pure pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling).
- Storage: Store at room temperature for 5-7 days.
- Freezing: Can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature.
