½ cup pure canned pumpkin

¼ cup canola oil (or any neutral oil)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease mini loaf pans and line with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. If using a brownie pan, line 5 wells with 1-inch strips of parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
In a separate bowl, sift or sprinkle the flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt over the wet ingredients. Whisk until no dry streaks remain.
Scoop even amounts of the batter into the prepared pans. Sprinkle a generous amount of cinnamon sugar over the top. Gently swirl the cinnamon sugar into the batter with a toothpick or knife.
Bake for 20–23 minutes in a brownie pan, or 28–30 minutes for mini loaf pans, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
Cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes. Lift the bread out using the parchment paper and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

For extra spice, add another ¼ to ½ teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon to the batter.

Double the recipe to make a large 9×5-inch loaf. Start checking at the 50-minute mark.

For muffins, bake individual portions in a muffin tin for 20–23 minutes.
