Pumpkin Bread
One of my favorite things to do in the fall is bake. It's something I started doing with my grandma as a child. There is something heartwarming about heating up the oven on a cold day, which warms up the house. Creating a wonderful-smelling home while something good is baking in the oven that you can pull out and enjoy.
You can easily freeze this bread for the holidays, or freeze half a loaf for later. I often pre-slice the pumpkin bread and add it, separated with parchment or wax paper, to freezer bags to pull out later for breakfasts. Or unexpected guests.

This pumpkin bread recipe still has all the flavors of fall but isn't overly spiced with nutmeg and cloves. I have to be honest. I don't like my pumpkin bread heavily spiced with nutmeg and cloves. We used pumpkin spice mix and cinnamon, making this nice blend of fall flavors that are sure to please anyone.

Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time1 hour
Total Time1 hour15 minutes
Ingredients
2 eggs
1/2 cup butter
1 cup fresh or canned pumpkin puree
1 cup light brown sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. pumpkin spice
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1-1/2 cups white flour
non-stick spray for preparing pan (Pam)
2 tbsp. flour for preparing pan
Instructions
Mix softened butter, 2 eggs, pumpkin puree and light brown sugar in your mixing bowl or mixer.
In a separate bowl - add all your dry ingredients together and gently mix all ingredients by hand to distribute dry ingredients.
Slowly add mixed dry ingredients to your mixer or bowl with already creamed wet ingredients. DO NOT OVER MIX!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Prepare your baking pan by spraying with a non stick spray. Add a little flour and move around your baking pan to cover sides. Shake out excess flour.
Set your pan in the oven to bake it. It will take 45-60 minutes. Use a knife or tooth pick to see when it comes out clean. But, don't over bake. You will have to keep checking during the last 20 minutes.
Let cool slightly before removing from pan. You can use a knife along the sides if needed to loosen edges of baked pumpkin bread then... (be careful if you use a non stick pan this could scratch the sides. Try to remove bread from pan it first before doing this.)
Take a plate and place it over your baking dish and flip it over.
Serve with coffee and add butter to the top if desired.
Notes
Set your pan in the oven to bake it. It will take 45-60 minutes. Use a knife or tooth pick to see when it comes out clean. But, don't over bake. You will have to keep checking during the last 20 minutes.
Sometimes I don't get dressed until noon. I guess that's a perk when you work from home. Other days, I make myself more professional and get ready for the day. On this day, after taking all the process shots for the muffins, I didn't get every process shot for the pumpkin bread, but, honestly, you don't need a step-by-step for a basic pumpkin bread recipe. Just follow the directions if you are new to baking; you'll be golden. You can do it!
