Pumpkin Swirl Donut Bread
Description
The recipe uses canola oil, butter, and sugar creamed together before adding eggs, vanilla, and pumpkin puree to create a moist batter. Flour, baking powder, and salt form the dry components, while buttermilk provides acidity and tenderness. A portion of batter is mixed separately with cinnamon and molasses to create the swirling cinnamon ribbons. These batters are layered and gently swirled before baking for 45-50 minutes in a loaf pan until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
Once baked, a coating blend of melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon is prepared. The warm bread is brushed with this mixture to give the crust a sweet, cinnamon-sugar finish resembling donut coating. The loaf is suitable for slicing at breakfasts or as a sweet snack.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1/4 cup butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 egg at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup buttermilk or 1/4 cup milk + 1/4 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon molasses
for the coating-
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease light colored loaf pan (8 1/2" x 4 1/2" x 2 3/4” high) with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix oil, butter, and sugar until well combined. Stir in eggs, vanilla, and pumpkin until smooth. Gently stir in dry ingredients and buttermilk until a uniform batter has formed. Scrape sides to ensure no lumps are present. Remove 1/2 cup prepared batter from bowl and place into a separate smaller bowl. To that small amount of batter, stir in cinnamon and molasses.
- Pour half of the prepared batter into the bottom of the loaf pan. Spoon half of the cinnamon batter in small dollops overtop the batter. Pour remaining plain batter over the top. Dot the top with remaining cinnamon batter. Using a butter knife, swirl two batters together. Bake 45-50 minutes or until toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- While loaf is baking, get coating ready. Pour melted butter into a large shallow dish. Stir sugar, brown sugar and cinnamon together in a separate large shallow dish.
- Cool 10 minutes before loosening edges and removing loaf from pan. The loaf should be very warm, but cool enough to handle with your hands. Dip each side of loaf into melted butter until fully coated. Spoon remaining melted butter over the edges that tend to be more crispy. Transfer buttery loaf to the cinnamon-sugar mixture and press into the sides and top until fully coated.
- Slice into pieces and serve warm or at room temperature.
