Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup light brown sugar
- ¾ cup pumpkin puree
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- ¼ cup Silk Unsweetened Vanilla Almondmilk
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (for topping)
- 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease three mini loaf pans with cooking spray and lightly dust with flour.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, almond milk, molasses, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly among the three prepared pans, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar and ½ teaspoon of cinnamon over each loaf.
- Bake for 40–43 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Start checking at 30 minutes for mini loaves.
- Let the bread cool in the pans for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a single large loaf, use a 9×5-inch pan and check the baking time around 50 minutes.
- Feel free to add mix-ins like chocolate chips or chopped nuts.
- Check the loaves early to prevent overbaking, especially with mini pans.
- This bread stores well at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
