How to make Pumpkin Bread:

Like most batters you start by mixing your wet and dry ingredients separately before combining them together.

Combine your wet and dry ingredients together and then pour the batter into a bread pan. Bake in the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Slice and enjoy!

Ingredient Notes:

• Granulated Sugar
• Brown Sugar – use light or dark brown sugar for this recipe. Make sure it’s packed.
• Unsalted Butter – melted.
• Eggs – at room temperature.
• Pumpkin Puree – Make sure it is not pumpkin pie filling.
• Vanilla
• All Purpose Flour
• Cinnamon
• Baking Soda – this helps keep the batter lighter.
• Pumpkin Pie Spice – the BEST Fall spice.
• Salt

Directions:

Step One – Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a loaf pan.

Step Two – In a large bowl mix melted butter and sugar together until well combined then add in the eggs mixing until fluff and lighter in color.

Add the pumpkin and vanilla to the mixture, blending until well combined.

Step Three – In a medium sized bowl stir the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt together.

Step Four – Add the flour mixture to the pumpkin and blend together scraping the sides of the bowl as needed.

Mix until just combined. Do not over mix.

Step Five – Pour the batter into the loaf pan. Using a spatula spread the batter in the pan evenly.

Step Six – Bake for 60-65 minutes until a toothpick comes out mostly clean.

Let the loaf cool until you can touch it in the pan, then remove the loaf from the pan to finish cooling on a rack.

Tips for making a great Pumpkin Bread:

1. Be care not to overmix the batter. This could result in your batter becoming dense. It is already going to be a dense bread, but you do want some air bubbles in there from the baking soda.
2. Check your bread close to the end. Depending on your oven it may be done sooner than the recommended time. Poke into the center of the bread with a toothpick at around 55 minutes. If/When the toothpick comes out clean, you will know your bread is done.
3. Serve with butter or cream cheese. Yes, spreading butter on a warm slice of this pumpkin bread is really good. My kids also really enjoy cream cheese on it.

How to store Pumpkin Bread:

Pumkin Bread can be stored on the counter, at room temperature for up to 5 days. You can store it in the refrigerator for up to 7-10 days. Storing in an airtight container is best, but you can also wrap it in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

Can Pumpkin Bread be frozen?

Yes, Pumpkin Bread can be frozen! Wrap in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil. Place in a freezer safe Ziplock bag, and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Allow 24 hours to thaw before serving.
