Ingredients
For the Pumpkin Bread:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoon pumpkin spice
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ stick butter at room temperature
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 ½ cups pumpkin puree
  • 2 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
For the Cinnamon Sugar:
  • ⅓ granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
Directions:
  1. Preheat the oven to 350⁰F. Line a 9x5 bread pan with aluminum foil. Lightly grease the pan with vegetable oil. Then set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix flour, pumpkin pie spice, and baking soda together. Put butter into a separate medium bowl and break apart with a fork and a spoon. Mix in brown sugar. Whisk until there are no more lumps. Mix in pumpkin puree, eggs, almond milk, and vanilla extract with the brown sugar butter. Slowly pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing as you go until there are no more lumps. Finally, combine the walnuts with the batter.
  4. Pour half the pumpkin batter into the loaf pan. Then evenly distribute half the cinnamon sugar on top of the batter. Pour the rest of the pumpkin batter in. Then evenly sprinkle the rest of cinnamon sugar on top. Swirl a spoon around the batter a few times to mix the cinnamon sugar into the batter, creating the cinnamon sugar swirl.
  5. Bake for 50-60 minutes. Time will vary depending on your oven. To check for readiness, insert a toothpick into several areas of the bread. If the toothpick comes out clean, the bread is ready. Wait until the bread cools down for 10-15 minutes before cutting into it.
