Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, and sugar. Beat in the eggs until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  • In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves).
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to your pumpkin mixture, mixing until just combined.
  • In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and the tablespoon of cinnamon to prepare the cinnamon swirl.

Assembly and Baking

  • Grease your mini loaf pan and fill each one about halfway with the pumpkin batter.
  • Sprinkle in a generous layer of the cinnamon swirl mixture.
  • Add more pumpkin batter on top of the swirl to cover it fully.
  • Using a butter knife, gently swirl the batter to combine the pumpkin with the cinnamon mixture.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cooling

  • Let the mini loaves cool in the pans for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
