This easy pumpkin bread recipe comes out of the oven flavorful, moist, and delicious! It’s a wonderful fall treat and great for the holidays!
Pumpkin Bread
Pumpkin Bread is the best and it is my absolute favorite bread to make during autumn and winter. This pumpkin bread recipe is ridiculously delicious and so easy to make. The bread comes out so moist and flavorful, and the house smells AMAZING!
If you don’t already know, I love pumpkin. So, it is a must that I make the best pumpkin bread possible. My pumpkin bread is made with whole wheat flour, yet it still stays so moist. You can use all-purpose flour as well, but whole wheat is just as good and better for you. I also use organic pumpkin puree, so this pumpkin bread can almost be considered a healthy food… at least in my mind. This is also a “quick bread”, so there is no yeast or kneading involved. I love quick and easy!
This pumpkin bread is a real favorite at my house, so a loaf never lasts long. We eat it for breakfast, as an afternoon snack, and for dessert. It’s just so good! Now that fall has arrived, this is a must-have recipe. I hope that you enjoy the pumpkin bread as much as we do!

How to make Pumpkin Bread
To make pumpkin bread, first, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 x 5 loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray. In a large bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, eggs, water, vegetable oil, sugar, and vanilla. 
In a separate bowl, mix the flour and the rest of the ingredients.
Add the flour mixture to the pumpkin mixture and stir until moistened. 
Pour the mixture into the greased loaf pan.
Bake at 350 for about 1 hour. Oven times may vary, approximately 55 – 65 minutes, it is best to do a toothpick test. Just insert a toothpick into the bread and if it comes out clean it is done.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
