Recipes »  Bread  »  Pumpkin Bread

This moist and flavorful pumpkin bread is perfect for the holidays.

"This recipe was excellent! I followed almost to a "T" but added a dash of allspice in there for good measure. I managed to get 9 muffins and a behemoth loaf out of the recipe. Since my loaf pan was larger than I thought it was, it had to bake longer than the stated directions. But I was just patient and kept testing via toothpick for doneness.

Overall, they are super moist and I have received only compliments so far from my taste-testers." - Lehcarrox

    We used sweetened organic applesauce instead of oil and reduced the sugar to 2 cups. Of course, we added chocolate chips!!! Delicious! Really good for after school snacks and lunch boxes.

    Yum! Everyone loves this and it's great for gifting. I use smaller loaf pans and it makes 3 (see pic with 3 loaves). With smaller loaves bake time is 40 min.

    Very good & moist. I used brown sugar as well as regular sugar. I also substituted applesauce for some of the oil & added pumpkin spice.

    Oh my, what a delish bread. Could help but eat half a loaf in one sitting! Added some nutmeg and clove for extra spice, subbed applesauce for the oil. Very moist, quite flavorful. Enjoy!

    Best bread for fall/holiday season. I had to hide the loaves from my husband so I could give them as gifts. Moist and delicious. I did sub half the oil for applesauce, added a splash of vanilla and also made a oatmela/brown sugar/cinnamon topping... Making again today!

    Added a little vanilla...eyeballed it but probably a teaspoon, did half brown sugar half white, and an extra teaspoon of cinnamon and it wasn't bland at all. Note, give it a good inch or so to rise. Make sure sprinkle the cinnamon on top and you're good to go!

    So pumpkin I have never cooked with nor ate. It was my first time carving a pumpkin and I decided to cook with the rest of the 'guts'. This recipe was easy and delicious. The cake was moist. I added brown sugar to the top of the cake prior to baking and it came our delicious.
