Taste of FallCinnamon Swirl Pumpkin Bread

This pumpkin bread smells like everything good about fall... you know,  cinnamon, nutmeg, and cozy mornings in fuzzy socks. It’s easy enough to make with your kids and delicious enough to share (if you can part with a slice).

Ingredients:
• 2 cups flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp nutmeg
• 1 tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup pumpkin purée
• ½ cup oil
• ⅓ cup milk
• 1 tsp vanilla

Instructions:
Mix dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk wet ones. Combine and pour into a greased loaf pan. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top, swirl gently with a knife, and bake at 350°F for 50–55 minutes.

Serve warm with butter....or go wild and add cream cheese frosting. Either way, your house will smell like heaven.
