Moist Pumpkin Bread

Tuesday, October 17, 2023
Easy super Moist Pumpkin Bread is family favorite quick bread recipe. It's a favorite fall quick bread recipe and can be made with either canned pumpkin or homemade pumpkin puree. It has molasses, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice for a delicious fall flavor.

You can make this Pumpkin Bread with or without a mixer. Whole wheat pastry flour can be used for a healthier alternative without effecting the texture or all-purpose flour if that's what you have on hand.

With Fall in full swing I think it's fair to start sharing a few of my favorite pumpkin recipes including this Moist Pumpkin Bread I adapted from Grannies Banana Luncheon Loaf with a few healthier substitution options like coconut oil and whole wheat pastry flour.

I promise you no one will be able to tell the difference with the healthier substitutions. 

I'm always craving a slice of Pumpkin Bread recipe this time of year and I think the hardest part to nailing this recipe was achieving the perfect balance of pumpkin spice with cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and allspice.  It's absolutely the best! 

I kept this bread nude but I'm pretty sure it would be delicious smothered in Maple Cream Cheese Frosting if your looking for something on the sweeter side of life.

But for me I'm all for a warm slice of Moist Pumpkin Bread recipe nude with a little bit of butter first thing in the morning with my cuppa.

I know you'll love this recipe too unless your one of those anti-pumpkin people then maybe you should check out this Moist Orange Cranberry Bread with Orange Glaze instead.
