PUMPKIN BREAD
Flavorful, moist and easy to make - I’m sure you’ll fall in love with this beautiful pumpkin bread.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 Tablespoon unsalted pepitas (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together flour, spices, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat butter and brown sugar together. Mix in pumpkin puree then add in eggs and vanilla.
- Stir in half of the dry ingredients. Add milk and stir to combine. Stir in remaining dry ingredients.
- Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and top with pepitas. Bake 55-60 minutes or until cake tester comes out clean.
Notes
- In a pinch, you can sub the brown sugar for white sugar. The brown sugar brings out the flavors of the spices a bit more but you’ll get a taller rise from the bread with white sugar.
- You can butter and flour your loaf pans if you don’t have parchment paper.
