Ingredients
  

Bread Ingredients
  • 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.25 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 0.75 cup pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie filling
  • 0.33 cup vegetable oil or canola oil, or melted coconut oil
  • 0.25 cup almond milk unsweetened vanilla, or your favorite milk
  • 2 tablespoons molasses mild or medium
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Cinnamon Sugar Topping
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar divided
  • 1.5 teaspoons cinnamon divided

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease and flour three 5x3x2-inch mini loaf pans, or spray very well with floured cooking spray. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, almond milk, molasses, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Pour the wet pumpkin mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Evenly distribute the batter between the three prepared pans, filling each about 2/3 full.
  6. Evenly sprinkle 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar over the top of each loaf. Then, evenly sprinkle 0.5 teaspoon of cinnamon over each loaf.
  7. Place the filled loaf pans on a baking sheet. Bake for 40 to 43 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. If the tops are browning too quickly, loosely drape a sheet of aluminum foil over them.
  8. Allow the bread to cool in the pans for about 15 minutes before removing them to a wire rack to cool completely.
