Pumpkin Bread
Are you tired of pumpkin yet? I hope not, because I’ve got a few more recipes to share with you. Since pumpkin recipes are really only appropriate a few months out of the year, I’ve got to squeeze them all in now, before it’s too late.
I told you last week that I almost never see a recipe and immediately make it. Well maybe I’m changing, because this is another recipe I just couldn’t resist. I saw this bread on Baking Junkie and I was intrigued by the fact that it was an old family recipe. You normally can’t go wrong with those! Plus it looked so good I couldn’t stop thinking about it.
I’m so glad I made it, because it is absolutely wonderful. It may be the best pumpkin bread I’ve ever had (and I already had a favorite chocolate chip pumpkin bread recipe on here!) This one is a classic. Moist, sweet, and full of pumpkin flavor, this bread just begs to be devoured. I won’t tell you how quickly we ate this loaf because I would be embarrassed, but I will tell you that next time I’m making it in muffin form to add an element of portion control. Yes, it’s that good.
Pumpkin Bread
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs, beaten
8oz pumpkin (approximately 1 cup)
1 3/4 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/3 cup water
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat together sugar and vegetable oil. Add eggs and pumpkin. Combine the remaining dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Add to pumpkin mixture, alternating with water (starting and ending with the dry ingredients). Pour into a well greased loaf pan. Bake for approximately one hour, or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.

I could never have too much pumpkin bread, or too much pumpkin for that matter. The more the better.
I have leftover pumpkin… and while not a fan myself, I bet I could make someone happy with this recipe!
I ♥ Pumpkin too! I've tried about three new pumpkin bread recipes this year, and I love them all for different reasons, lol! We go through it a little too quickly in our house too. I'll have to give this one a try, it looks easy and yummy! 🙂
Nothing says Fall like sitting eating pumpkin bread and drinking a hot drink 🙂

Oh dear… I have all the ingredients for this. This means I am liable to gain 10 pounds today. 10 pounds of pumpkin bread.
I love pumpkin-anything and am always up for trying new versions of everything where it's the main ingredient. Yum!

I am SO not over the pumpkin craze…in fact, it's just begun! We aren't even at Halloween yet, let alone Thanksgiving. I love pumpkin bread and haven't yet made it this season…maybe I will try this one this week!
I've been waiting to make pumpkin bread until I found the 'perfect recipe'. I do believe my search is over!!!
I'm definitely not tired of pumpkin yet. I haven't even cooked anything with pumpkin yet!
I haven't started cooking with pumpkin yet either! This bread looks great. Especially with a little slather of cream cheese icing :-).
Bread from pumpkin??! Never tried it! Thanks!!
This looks delicious Megan! I am so sold on your cooking! Made your potato soup one more time. It's a fav here. Keep the recipes coming!
I don't think there can ever be too many pumpkin recipes to go around! And this one certainly looks like a winner!
Hi Megan, bread looks so soft and delicious, never tried pumpkin in bread making though..

How can you ever get tired of pumpkin? I have three cans in the cupboard right now. I'll have to try this. Yum!
I am so making this soon! I love pumpkin and could never get tired of it! Thanks for sharing!!
I never get tired of pumpkin! And this bread seriously looks textbook perfect.
I just tried this recipe today and it is amazing! It was so simple and easy to whip up, because I already had all the ingredients on hand.
The loaves baked up beautifully, the texture is so soft and moist, and the flavor is perfect! Even the outer crust of the bread is so sweet and crispy.
I might reduce the sugar next time, though. But that's just my personal taste.
5 out of 5 stars!
This just might become my go-to pumpkin bread recipe. Thanks for sharing it!
Whitney – I'm so glad you liked this! Thanks for stopping back to let me know. I love hearing recipe feedback (especially when it's positive!) 🙂
I feel kind of silly, but do you mean to use 1/2 of a 15 oz. can for one recipe.
Kim – yes, sorry! That's not clear at all, is it? I'll change it. Use 1/2 a 15oz can, or 8oz of pumpkin.
Is the pumpkin in this recipe supposed to be canned pumpkin?
yes, canned pumpkin. 🙂
