Description

This Easy Pumpkin Bread is moist, perfectly spiced, and so simple to prepare. A comforting fall treat ideal for breakfasts or snacks!


Ingredients

Scale

1¾ cups granulated sugar

½ cup vegetable or canola oil

2 large eggs

15 ounces pumpkin puree

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon table salt


Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325°F.

2. Grease and flour two 8×4-inch loaf pans; set aside.

3. In a large bowl, whisk together sugar and oil until it resembles wet sand.

4. Add eggs and whisk until well-combined.

5. Stir in pumpkin puree.

6. Add flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; mix until just combined (do not overmix).

7. Divide batter evenly between the two pans.

8. Bake for 40–60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean (typically takes the full 60 minutes).

9. Cool in pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then remove loaves and cool to room temperature.

10. Serve warm if desired.

Notes

Storage: Store at room temperature in airtight container or zip-top bag for 3–4 days. Freeze by wrapping tightly in plastic wrap, then foil; freeze up to 3 months.

Substitution Notes: Do not substitute pumpkin pie filling for pumpkin puree. Gluten-free flour may work but is not tested. Recipe easily doubles to make 4 loaves. Metal pans preferred.
