Pumpkin Bread 🎃🍞🍂 Moist, Spiced, and Perfect for Autumn Baking

This pumpkin bread is tender, flavorful, and loaded with warm spices that make your kitchen smell amazing. Perfect for breakfast, snacking, or gifting — it’s fall in loaf form.

Ingredients (Makes 1 loaf)

• 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
• 1 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
• ½ cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• 1½ tsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp ground ginger
• ¼ tsp nutmeg
• ¼ tsp cloves (optional, for more spice)
• ¼ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and prepare

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mix dry ingredients

• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.

Step 3: Mix wet ingredients

• In a large bowl, whisk pumpkin purée, brown sugar, oil, eggs, milk, and vanilla until smooth.

Step 4: Combine

• Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir gently until just combined — do not overmix.

Step 5: Bake

• Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
• Bake 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 6: Cool and slice

• Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Flavor Variations

• Add chocolate chips for extra indulgence
• Stir in chopped walnuts or pecans for crunch
• Swirl in cream cheese filling before baking for a bakery-style loaf
• Sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top before baking for a sweet crust

Pro Tips

• Use room temperature eggs for better mixing
• Don’t overmix to keep the bread soft and tender
• Check for doneness at 50 minutes to avoid overbaking
• Wrap tightly and store at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months

Final Thoughts

Pumpkin Bread is moist, aromatic, and endlessly comforting — the kind of bake that pairs perfectly with a hot drink and a crisp fall day.

Mix it. Bake it. Slice into autumn bliss. 🎃🍞🍂
