Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a mini loaf pan (5.5x3-inch) and line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, pumpkin pie spice and nutmeg. Set the mixture aside.
In another medium bowl, whisk together sugar, pumpkin puree, egg, melted butter, and milk.
Combine the flour mixture with the wet ingredients with a spatula until just mixed.
Pour the batter into a prepared loaf pan.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top of the loaf springs back when gently pressed.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan until it's cool enough to handle, then transfer it to a cooling rack. Let it cool for an additional 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Pumpkin spice: If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, you can make a substitute using common spices. Here’s a quick replacement recipe:
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
Mix these spices and use the combined amount in place of the pumpkin pie spice in your recipe. Reserve extra in a small spices glass container.Storage: Keep wrapped in a cloth or container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
