Cinnamon Swirl Pumpkin Bread With Crumble Topping

Sorry friends, I told you that I could not resist breaking in my new ovens with a few of my favorite Fall treats. Pumpkin bread is a staple at our house all year long, the spicy scent wafting through the house warms my heart and my belly. Frankly, you can never have enough pumpkin recipes in my opinion, sweet or savory. Last week I shared pumpkin bread with maple glaze this week I am sharing cinnamon swirl pumpkin bread with crumble topping. If it is too soon for your pumpkin fox bookmark or pin this post, if you don’t like pumpkin bread you better skip the post.

This moist pumpkin bread is a quick bread and comes together easily using pantry staples. You can have this bread mixed and ready to bake in less than 10 minutes. Cinnamon swirl pumpkin bread is perfect with coffee and tea for a snack, eaten for breakfast and to give away to family and friends. I made an extra loaf and gave it to my neighbors and will be making many more over the holidays for gift baskets.

In a large bowl add the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, all spices, whisk together.

In another bowl mix the 2 eggs, the oil, and the vanilla then pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix well. DO NOT OVER MIX.

Pour half of the batter into prepared pan and sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar mixture, top with the rest of the batter. Using a knife or a skewer make a swirl. Then top the batter with the crumble topping.

Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center. Cool for 5 minutes in the pan and then cool on a rack.

Once the bread is cool, mix the powdered sugar and a dash of milk in a bowl, stir until smooth, then drizzle on top of the bread.

NOTE: If you use pumpkin pie spice in place of the other spices use 2 teaspoons

An easy pumpkin bread recipe that can be adapted to suit your taste, you can add and subtract additions depending upon what you have in the pantry or how much time you have. Nuts, cranberries, chocolate chips are all delicious additions to this bread.

If you are not a baker or want to whip this together a little faster simply use a boxed mix or your favorite pumpkin bread mix from Williams Sonoma, then add the cinnamon swirl, it is only cinnamon and sugar after all. But don’t skimp on the crumble topping, those buttery crumbles are the best part! For more pumpkin recipes visit my Fall Baking Pinterest board. You might also enjoy this cookbook, or this one.
