After a few days spent in the sun in LA, I’m craving fall weather and cozy fall baking. I’ve been enjoying traveling so much, but what I’m looking forward to is getting back into everything warm and cozy! Fall is the sweetest (literally), most special time of year. I’m thrilled to have this yummy fall pumpkin bread to share today. It’s been two weeks since I last made this bread. At the time, my family was traveling so you know I’ll be baking this up again today. They’re going to love every sweet, pumpkiny bite. So excited! The idea for the recipe came pretty simply. I love creating new pumpkin bread recipes each season. A couple of my all-time favorites are the cream cheese swirled pumpkin bread, and then, the chocolate chip pumpkin bread. Both really are so delicious. I re-make them every single season. The chocolate bread is always a Thanksgiving dessert table staple. The one thing I haven’t yet created is a basic pumpkin cinnamon bread. I thought about how delicious that could be. I knew didn’t want to mess with any yeast, I’ve been so into quick bread this year for that reason. So I decided to make a pumpkin cinnamon roll quick bread and it turned out insanely perfect. I was so pleased!
Here are details
Step 1: make the cinnamon swirl This is a mix of brown sugar with butter, cinnamon, and then flour. Exactly what you’d roll a cinnamon roll up with, just minus the flour, which is used to give the swirl a bit of structure in the bread. Step 2: make the bread Of course, I wanted this bread to be a little more special than all the others out there. So I used spiced pumpkin butter, not pumpkin purèe. This IS KEY. Pumpkin butter is more reduced down than pumpkin purèe and contains less moisture. Mix the pumpkin butter with coconut oil, an egg, vanilla, maple syrup (or use honey), and milk (feel free to use whatever kind is in your fridge). Then mix in flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt. Step 3: layer and swirl Once you have the batter mixed, spoon half the batter into a bread pan, dollop some of the cinnamon swirl over the batter, then add the remaining batter. Now dollop over all of the remaining cinnamon swirl. Then give the entire loaf one more swirl using a knife. And then you bake. This quick bread will take about an hour in the oven. As the bread bakes the cinnamon melts into the sugar and butter, becoming nice and gooey. At the same time, the swirl on top starts to caramelize becoming just slightly crunchy. DELICIOUS! Like your favorite cinnamon roll, but with pumpkin!

It’s thick and creamy, with a good vanilla flavor, just the way we want it! This pretty bread is soft and even more gooey in the center than your favorite cinnamon roll. The best kind of pumpkin bread! Looking for other sweet recipes?
