I love making this bread during the fall months. But it’s so delicious that it’s already been on my mind even as summer is barely wrapping up! It’s August and I’m trying to convince myself to wait until at least September before making it. Or at least until it’s not 90 degrees anymore! Our pumpkin bread recipe will make your home smell so good, your neighbors might try to move in. Best of all, it requires little skill!
This bread is great for brunches, gifting to a friend, or taking with you on Sunday morning to share with others. Because it uses only one bowl, this bread is very simple and easy to make. But make sure you plan enough time for baking, as it can take close to an hour.
Ingredients:
1 ½ cups pumpkin puree
¼ cup neutral oil- avocado, canola, or vegetable
¼ cup butter
⅔ cup brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup sour cream
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a large mixing bowl, melt the butter. Add the rest of the wet ingredients and mix well with a whisk.
- Add both sugars and mix well.
- Add the baking powder and baking soda, spices and salt and mix well.
- Add the flour and fold in gently with a spatula until just combined.
- Pour into a greased standard size bread pan and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool. Enjoy!
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,
