These cinnamon sugar pumpkin bread twists are quick, easy, and perfect for fall. They combine tender pumpkin bread with a crackly cinnamon sugar coating for a treat that’s crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (120g) pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • ¼ cup (56g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • ⅓ cup (65g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) packed light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2–3 tablespoons (30-45ml) milk
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar (for coating)
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon (for coating)
  • 3 tablespoons (42g) unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix pumpkin puree, melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Add 2 tablespoons of milk; if dough is too dry, add a third tablespoon. Dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
  5. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a ½-inch thick rectangle (about 8×6 inches).
  6. Cut dough into 12 strips, each about 1 inch wide and 6 inches long.
  7. Gently twist each strip a few times and place on prepared baking sheet, spacing about 1 inch apart.
  8. In a small bowl, mix ½ cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons cinnamon for coating. Brush each twist generously with melted butter, then sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture on both sides.
  9. Bake for 14-16 minutes, until golden brown and edges are slightly darker.
  10. Let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

For extra crispy twists, let them cool completely on the baking sheet. Use fresh spices for best flavor. If pumpkin puree is watery, blot with a paper towel before using.
