3. Step-by-step instructions to make delicious fall pumpkin bread

Preparing the batter

Mix dry ingredients

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly combined.

Combine wet ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together the sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, folding gently until just combined. Do not overmix, to keep the bread moist and tender.

Prepare the cinnamon swirl

In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon for the swirl. Set aside.

Assemble the pumpkin swirl bread

Pour half of the batter into a prepared loaf pan lined with parchment paper or greased. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the batter. Pour the remaining batter on top, then sprinkle with the rest of the cinnamon sugar. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the cinnamon mixture through the batter for that beautiful marbled effect.

Bake and cool

Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

4. Storage tips for your pumpkin bread delight

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to a week. For longer storage, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, briefly microwave or warm in the oven for a freshly-baked feel.

5. Serving suggestions to enjoy your cozy pumpkin bread
