Moist pumpkin bread swirled with sweet cinnamon sugar and topped with a buttery crumble. Perfect for all of the autumn weekends ahead.
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 fix bookmark or pin this post, if you don’t like pumpkin bread you better skip the post.
Pumpkin Bread
At the first hint of fall my brain immediately kicks into cozy mode. Warm throws, simmering stews, days by the fire with a stack of Fall books and the scent of anything pumpkin spice wafting from the oven. I love anything pumpkin, sweet or savory. Pumpkin scones, pumpkin soup, and pumpkin hot chocolate are just a few of the things on my pumpkin diet. Today I am sharing my latest obsession, Cinnamon Swirl pumpkin bread with Crumble topping.
Why You Should Make Cinnamon Swirl Pumpkin Bread
Classic pumpkin bread is delicious but this bread it over the top scrumptious.
- It has all of the flavors of fall in one loaf
- ribbons of cinnamon and sugar swirl
- buttery cinnamon crumbs on every slice
- last but not least a powdered sugar glaze drizzled on top
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.
Pumpkin Bread Additions
Cinnamon Swirl pumpkin bread is a 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.
