Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, beat the oil and honey together together with a whisk. Add the eggs and whisk until blended. (If your coconut oil solidifies on contact with cold ingredients, simply let the bowl rest in a warm place for a few minutes, like on top of your stove, or warm it for about 10 seconds in the microwave.)
- Add the pumpkin purée, milk, pumpkin spice, baking soda, vanilla and salt, and whisk to blend. Lastly, switch to a big spoon and stir in the flour, just until combined. Some lumps are ok! If you're adding any additional mix-ins, gently fold them in now.
- Pour the batter into your greased loaf pan and sprinkle lightly with cinnamon. If you'd like a pretty swirled effect, run the tip of a knife across the batter in a zig-zag pattern.
- Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (typically, if I haven't added any mix-ins, my bread is done at 55 minutes; if I have added mix-ins, it needs closer to 60 minutes). Let the bread cool in the loaf pan for 10 minutes, then carefully transfer the bread to a cooling rack to cool for 20 minutes before slicing.

Tips:
- For a moist and flavorful pumpkin bread, use fresh pumpkin puree. You can make your own puree by roasting a pumpkin and then scooping out the flesh, or you can buy canned pumpkin puree.
- If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, you can make your own by combining 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves.
- To make the bread even healthier, you can use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour. You can also reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe, or use a healthier sugar alternative such as honey or maple syrup.
- If you want a sweeter bread, you can add more sugar or honey to the recipe. You can also add chocolate chips, raisins, or nuts.
- Pumpkin bread is best served warm with a dollop of butter or cream cheese. It can also be toasted and served with jam or honey.
