What’s the best pumpkin to use for this recipe?

Use canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie mix. It offers the perfect texture and flavor balance.

Can I make this recipe vegan?

Yes! Replace eggs with flax eggs and use dairy-free milk and oil for a fully plant-based version.

How do I make the swirl more pronounced?

Use slightly more brown sugar and cinnamon, and swirl less to create bold layers.

Can I double the recipe for regular loaf pans?

Absolutely. Just adjust bake time to 50–60 minutes and monitor doneness with a toothpick.

Is this recipe considered a dessert or a breakfast item?

Both! It’s great as a sweet breakfast bread or a Pumpkin Dessert after dinner.
