Ingredients for Easy Pumpkin Bread
Only One Bowl Needed
I love an easy baking recipe and this pumpkin bread is just that. All you need is a big bowl, a spatula and measuring cups and spoons.
Start by mixing all the wet ingredients and granulated sugar in a bowl. Once combined, add dry ingredients and gently stir together until the batter just comes together.
Make sure you don’t overmix. This ensures a light, tender bread.
Divide the batter among two greased loaf pans and you’re ready to bake.
If the bread starts to brown too much towards the end of baking, lightly place a piece of foil over the top for the rest of the baking time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make just one loaf? Yes, this recipe is really easy to cut in half. There is a feature on the recipe card that will even do the math for you. Simply change the serving size to 1 and it will adjust the ingredient list. Use one cup of pumpkin (it will state 1/2 can).
How do I store the pumpkin bread? Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
How long is this bread good? It will be good for about 5 days when properly stored.
Can I freeze the baked pumpkin bread? Yes! Once cool, wrap tightly in plastic wrap then in foil. Place in a freezer-safe bag and store up to 2 months. To defrost, set on the counter for a few hours or place in the fridge overnight.
What’s your favorite way to eat this bread? I love a thick slab warmed up and slathered in salted butter.
