Pumpkin

They come together super easily, they’re often delicious for both breakfast and dessert and they’re the perfect treat to gift to just about anyone.

Pumpkin & Walnut Bread

From Banana Bread, Zucchini Banana Bread, Apple Pie Bread, and Butternut Squash Bread, I pretty much have any type of quick bread you could possibly want. But my absolute favorite quick bread of all the quick breads here on My Baking Addiction, this Pumpkin Bread will always be my most loved and most baked!

Okay, let’s chat about this pumpkin bread. There is nothing that signifies fall for me more than this recipe. I’ve been making it for years – long before my blog, and it shows up countless times in my kitchen throughout the season.

It’s sweet, spicy and incredibly moist. I know, I know, moist is not my favorite word either, but there is really no way to adequately describe this Pumpkin Bread recipe without mentioning that word.

Pumpkin Bread Recipe With Cinnamon Glaze

I have fed this bread to so many people and every one of them has declared that this recipe is the best Pumpkin Bread they have ever tasted.

This particular recipe gets better with time, so whip it up a day or so in advance before you plan on eating it or giving it away.

Because let me tell you, it makes a great gift for neighbors, a hostess gift, or a gift for your boss if you’re looking to butter them up a bit.

Pumpkin Bread (eggless & With Whole Wheat Flour)

This quick bread recipe takes a bit of time to bake, but I bet you can pull together the batter in about the same amount of time it’ll take for the oven to preheat.

Like all quick-bread recipes, we mix together the wet ingredients in one bowl, which in this case includes a whole can of pumpkin puree. We’re not skimping on the pumpkin in this bread!

In another bowl, we’ll whisk together all of the dry ingredients. From there, add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix the batter together before dividing into two loaf pans.

Homemade Pumpkin Bread

Or you could keep them both for yourself. It freezes beautifully, after all. Serve it up plain, toasted, with a spread of butter, or get a little adventurous and fry it up in a pan and make Pumpkin Bread French Toast!

Canned pumpkin pie filling is not the same thing; it has a bunch of added ingredients that we don’t need in our Pumpkin Bread.

While you’re at the store, grab a few extra cans because I can guarantee you’ll want to use them in Pumpkin Cheesecake, Pumpkin Bundt Cake, Pumpkin Crunch Cake, and more.

Gluten Free Pumpkin Bread {dairy Free}

Add in some chocolate chips for Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread, or even add things like chopped pecans and dried cranberries. Simply fold them in before you add the batter to the pans.

Store this bread well wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want it to keep for longer, pop it into the refrigerator.

Freeze the bread for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy, take the whole loaves out of the freezer and let them thaw on the counter overnight, or grab as many slices as you like and microwave them for 30-60 seconds for a nice warm slice of Pumpkin Bread.

@Jamie, hi! I mean if I didn’t have a full 2 cups I made this previously and don’t think I have enough fresh puréed pumpkin left, probably just 1 1/2 Would thing affect the texture of the cake much?

Hi Alex – You could use some cooked and pureed butternut squash in place of the pumpkin. Hope this helps! Happy baking – Jamie

Super

Made 2 loaves on Saturday and gave one away to our daughter and her college roommates. So good - the pumpkin pie spice had just the right ratio of all the good stuff. Making 2 more loaves today (Tuesday), one for us and the other to share with coworkers. I love using the whole can of puree and not having to waste or try to save a small portion of the can.

Prepare the Loaf Pan– Prepare a 10 x 5 loaf pan by buttering it really well and then adding a strip of parchment paper to the bottom and up the sides for easy removal.Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.

Bake – Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 1 hour. The bread will be fully risen in the center, like a loaf. Make sure it’s fully cooked and brown on the top otherwise, it will fall in the middle once removed from the oven.

We use a 10″ x 5″ x 3″ ceramicloaf pan for all of our pieces of bread and loaves. We highly recommend The Emile Henry French Ceramic Ruffled. The ceramic heats evenly, so bread and loaves cook even and brown to perfection. You will have it forever, and it’s so worth the investment!

If you have a smaller 8x4-inchloaf pan, you can also use that, but only fill it 3/4 of the way full. You might be able to get two loaf cakes out of it using a smaller loaf pan.

Pumpkin Bread {tested To Perfection!}

If you want to get creative, you can use our easy pumpkin bread batter in a muffin tin to make pumpkin muffins. However, pumpkin loaf is a classic that will never fail you.

To prepare a loaf pan for the perfect pumpkin bread recipe, thoroughly grease it. You can use butter, oil, or shortening. Even if you line the loaf pan with parchment paper, you still need to grease the bottom and sides.

The great thing about pumpkin bread is that you can make a huge batch at once. All you need to do is multiply your ingredients and have enough loaf pans on hand.

It can last up to five days at room temperature; however, make sure you cover it or wrap it in plastic wrap.

Putting your pumpkin bread in the refrigerator will make it last longer, but you still shouldn’t store it for longer than a week.

The best way to use your big batch of pumpkin bread is to freeze your extra loaves. If you do it right, you will have fresh backup loaves on hand all season.

Pumpkin Bread In An 8×8 Pan

To freeze pumpkin bread, wrap each loaf individually in two layers of freezer paper or aluminum foil. The goal is to remove all air and block any from getting into the wrapping.
