Twin tip: To see if the bread is finished baking, tap the top of the loaf. If your finger sinks in, the bread is not finished, if the bread is bouncy, it’s done!
WARNING: from personal experience, you and your family might eat this loaf in one sitting!
So grab your whisk, embrace the fall vibes, and let this pumpkin bread become your new seasonal tradition. Because honestly, who needs a pumpkin spice latte when you’ve got a loaf of this on the counter?
Happy baking,
