This is my family’s favorite pumpkin bread!

Pumpkin bread is a fall staple every year. As soon as September rolls around, I’m planning which pumpkin recipes to try, and which favorites to bake again, all while snacking on pumpkin protein balls.

This pumpkin bread and my pumpkin banana bread are both favorites around here. Right up there with pumpkin chocolate chip cookies.

The best way to serve this pumpkin bread it is warmed up with melted butter smeared generously on top. Heaven in every bite! Pumpkin bread and apple crisp bars are fall must haves.

How to make homemade pumpkin bread

Whisk the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon together.
In another bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: pumpkin, eggs, melted butter, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract.
Stir the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined. Grease a loaf pan and pour the pumpkin batter in.
Bake the pumpkin bread loaf at 350 degrees for 55 – 65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Tips for Success

do not over mix the batter: over mixing batter can result in a dense and dry bread. Mix the wet and dry ingredients together until just combined for a soft and moist bread.
allow the bread to cool in the pan first: Allow the bread to sit in the pan at least 15 minutes after baking before you try to remove it. Taking the bread out too soon may result in it falling apart
use a butter knife: to loosen the edges of the loaf before removing it from the pan
cool completely: allow the loaf to cool completely on a wire cooling rack before slicing to ensure the bread does not fall apart when cut
