Pumpkin Bread

For years I have enjoyed Zucchini Bread and Banana Bread, recently – as I’ve started growing pumpkin in my garden – I’ve also developed a strong love of Pumpkin Bread!

This recipe makes two loaves to evenly use up one can of pumpkin, but it can easily be cut in half to save some for pumpkin pie!

Equipment I use:

KitchenAid

Lodge Cast Iron Loaf Pan

Cook Time 1 hour hr 10 minutes mins

Course Bread

Servings 2 loaves

Equipment

• 1 electric mixer
• 2 loaf pans

Ingredients

  

• 2 cups all purpose flour
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking soda
• ¼ tsp cloves
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp nutmeg
• 1½ sticks unsalted butter softened
• 1½ cups granulated sugar
• ½ cup brown sugar packed
• 1 15 oz can 100% pumpkin or homemade pumpkin puree
• 3 eggs
• ¼ cup finely chopped walnuts or pecans optional

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 325℉ and butter two 8×4 loaf pans.
• In a stand mixer cream butter and sugar. Add in eggs. Once thoroughly beaten and slightly fluffy, beat in the pumpkin.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together dry ingredients. Stir into wet ingredients until just combined. (It may have a texture like a slightly watery cornbread batter.)
• Divide batter between loaf pans and bake for ~70 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Allow to cool at least 10 minutes before removing from pan.

Notes

• If desired, you can cut this recipe in half and use the extra pumpkin to make a single pie with my Shareable Pumpkin Pie recipe. Any extra sweetened condensed milk or evaporated milk can be used to make Old Fashioned Caramels and Chocolate Fudge with Pecans! (or used as coffee creamer 🙂 )
