Ingredients

Bread:

  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) brown sugar
  • cup (79ml) vegetable oil
  • 1 cup (244g) LIBBY'S® 100% Pumpkin Puree
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • cup (79ml) buttermilk
  • 2 cups (248g) all-purpose flour

Topping:

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x5-inch or 8x4-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
  • Stir granulated sugar and brown sugar with oil and pumpkin. Stir in the eggs, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and baking soda. Stir until combined. Stir in buttermilk and flour.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan. Combine cinnamon and sugar for topping; sprinkle over bread.
  • Bake for 40-50 minutes. If you want it totally done (no gooey center), test it by inserting a toothpick just partway into the top center of the bread. If this comes out clean, it’s done. If you like a gooier center, remove it when testing it with at toothpick that way comes out with a little stuck to the top.
  • Cool before removing from pan. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days or freeze for up to one month.
