Pumpkin Bread Recipe Brown Sugar

It's fall, which means pumpkin season so this is the perfect time to make Pumpkin Bread. This delicious easy pumpkin bread recipe is made with pumpkin puree, and warm spices, and topped with cinnamon and sugar streusel. It's a great fall treat and perfect with a cup of coffee or tea.

After making multiple loaves to test this recipe I think this is the best pumpkin bread recipe you'll ever have. This bread is perfectly sweet, packed with wonderful fall spices - cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg; and made tender by the addition of buttermilk. The batter is mixed by hand, so the pumpkin bread stays tender and doesn't get overmixed which can lead to tough or rubbery bread.

Homemade pumpkin bread is delicious and so easy to make. You have a lot of control over the final taste (adjust the spices, add a glaze) and it takes less time to mix the batter than to run to the bakery and buy a loaf.

I like plenty of spice, especially for fall desserts, so there is plenty of cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and ginger. The combination of these spices with the pumpkin is really delicious. I wanted the richness of butter, instead of oil, so I experimented a couple of times to figure out how much butter to use in combination with either milk or buttermilk.

Pumpkin bread is a quick bread, which means it does not require yeast. Baking powder and baking soda are used to create the rise. See my recipe for Raspberry Prune Bread for a similar quick bread recipe.

This is an easy recipe, made by hand, and requires only two bowls. If making a double batch you may want to use an electric mixer, but be careful not to overmix.

Pumpkin Loaf Cake

Place the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder in a large bowl and whisk for 30 seconds until the ingredients are well combined.

Place the granulated sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl and use your fingers to break up any brown sugar clumps. Add all the spices and whisk to combine.

Add the pumpkin puree, whisk it in then add the melted butter and whisk to incorporate. Add the dry ingredients all at once and use a silicone spatula to mix the dry ingredients until there are no white bits of flour left.

Pumpkin Bread Recipe (no Mixer!)

The batter will be a little lumpy and that is okay. Don't overmix the dough as that will result in a tough, rubbery texture when the pumpkin bread is baked.

Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Use an offset spatula to spread the batter and fill the corners. Don't try to make the top perfectly smooth.

Sprinkle the brown sugar streusel on top. I love this streusel. When it bakes it creates a crunchy topping on top of the bread.

Healthy Pumpkin Bread {no Sugar + Whole Wheat Flour}

Bake the pumpkin bread 55-65 minutes until the center of the bread registers 203°F with an instant-read thermometer. Or stick a cake skewer in the center of the cake. If the skewer comes out clean with a just few crumbs clinging to it, it's done.

When the bread is removed from the oven, run a knife along the edges to loosen the cake. Cool the bread in the pan for 15 minutes. Use two spatulas to lift the bread out of the pan, set it on a cooling rack, and allow it to cool completely before slicing it.

I wait for the bread to cool, about 2 hours before slicing into it, but there is no rule that says you can't start slicing while it is still warm. Even better the bread tastes better the next day. The spices are more prominent and the bread is still moist.

Easy Pumpkin Bread

Pumpkin Bread, like Banana Bread, is a great portable snack. My favorite way to serve it is with a schmear of soft salted butter and a cup of tea. If you're having friends over for brunch it's a great addition to your menu.

What is overmixing? When you mix a dough that contains flour, you develop gluten. Gluten is the protein in wheat that is responsible for the elastic texture of dough. Imagine long rubbery cords. The more you mix, the more these cords develop and the stronger they become.

For most yeast bread recipes this is what you want, but for cake and quick bread, you want tender, soft bread with moist crumbs. Therefore you only mix the batter enough to incorporate the dry ingredients.

Better Than Starbucks Pumpkin Bread

The pumpkin bread is good at room temperature in a covered container or wrapped in plastic wrap for 3 days. After two days refrigerate the bread in an airtight container or wrap it in plastic wrap for up to a week. You can also wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator or freezer.

I made multiple loaves of pumpkin bread with canned and fresh-made pumpkin puree. I prefer the fresh-made pumpkin puree, but Libby's canned pumpkin puree is really good. The Libby's is thick and has a beautiful orange color similar to the homemade puree.

I recommend against canned organic pumpkin puree. I tried two different brands and in both instances, the organic canned puree was pale orange and very watery compared to the homemade puree and Libby's.

Pumpkin Bread With Brown Sugar Glaze

See my recipe for How to Make Pumpkin Puree if you want to make your own. . The recipe makes 3-4 cups of puree. Leftover puree can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week or frozen for up to 2 months.

If using canned puree do not confuse canned pumpkin puree with pumpkin pie filling. They are two totally different things and the pie filling usually contains all the ingredients necessary for a pie filling, such as sugar and spices.

Pumpkin bread is called a quick bread because quick breadcan be made quickly and easily. Quick breads are also called “quick” because they have to be baked or cooked immediately after being mixed.

If your bread did not rise it's either because the baking powder or baking soda is expired or too much batter was added to the pan.

When your bread is finished (while still warm), start poking a bunch of holes in it using a fork, toothpick or skewer. This will allow some of the glaze to seep into the bread. Be sure to put a paper towel or dish towel underneath your loaf pan too because once you start pouring the glaze, it may go a little over the edge if you pour too quickly like I usually do.

Start pouring the warm glaze over the warm bread.Try to pour slowly to allow that glaze to seep in the holes you poked.
