Description

This Snickerdoodle Pumpkin Bread is the perfect marriage of two beloved classics, resulting in a wonderfully moist and fragrant loaf. A tender pumpkin bread is swirled and topped with a classic cinnamon-sugar mixture, creating a delightful treat for any time of day.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for coating)
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1 cup pumpkin purée
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup neutral oil (canola or vegetable)
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and coat with 2 tablespoons of cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, both sugars, baking soda, baking powder, cream of tartar, spices, and salt.
  3. Add pumpkin purée, eggs, oil, milk, and vanilla to dry ingredients. Stir until just smooth, being careful not to overmix.
  4. Pour half the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons cinnamon-sugar mixture. Top with remaining batter and smooth out.
  5. Sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top generously.
  6. Bake for 55–65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool in pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

For extra flavor, fold in 1 cup of chopped nuts or chocolate chips before baking. Do not slice too soon after baking to avoid gumminess.
