How to make Cinnamon Sugar-Topped Pumpkin Spice Bread

Ingredients:

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar (packed)
3/4 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
1/3 cup vegetable oil (canola oil, or liquid-state coconut oil)
1/4 cup Silk Unsweetened Vanilla Almondmilk (or your favorite type of milk)
2 tablespoons mild or medium molasses
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 tablespoons granulated sugar (divided 3 ways)
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon (divided 3 ways)

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 400F. Spray three mini loaf pans (5x3x2 inches) with floured cooking spray or grease and flour them. Set aside.
In a large bowl, add the flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Whisk everything together and set it aside.
In a separate large bowl, mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, oil, milk, molasses, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing the batter.
Divide the batter evenly between the three prepared pans, filling each about 2/3 full.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sugar over each pan and then sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon over each pan.
Place the pans on a baking sheet for easier handling in the oven.
Bake for about 40 to 43 minutes. Check with a toothpick inserted in the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Baking Tips: Start checking at 30 minutes, as baking times may vary. If you notice the tops browning too quickly, lightly cover them with aluminum foil.
Let the bread cool in the pans for about 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
