I love quick breads! Zucchini bread, banana bread, I love them all!

So, every fall I get excited to make pumpkin bread. Pumpkin bread is close to a moist spice cake, which is one of my favorites.

This easy pumpkin bread recipe is just that. It’s so easy! It’s a one-bowl recipe that doesn’t require a mixer or any special ingredients or equipment.

And, most importantly, it tastes great! The pumpkin bread is moist without being greasy, and it’s nicely spiced.

How To Make Pumpkin Bread

I recommend mixing the bread by hand rather than using a mixer. It’s easy, and it helps to avoid overmixing the batter.

In a large bowl, whisk the sugar and oil together. Add the eggs and whisk in until combined. Whisk in the pumpkin puree until combined.

Add the dry ingredients and whisk in just until combined. Don’t overmix. Overmixing will give you dense or heavy loaves.

Pour the batter into the prepared pans, and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Pumpkin Bread Variations

I recommend using up to 1 cup of add-ins. Stir them in after step 6, if using.

Nuts: Chopped pecans or chopped walnuts work well.
Chocolate chips: You can find the version with chocolate chips here.
Other chips: You can change it up and use cinnamon chips, caramel chips, or white chocolate chips.

How To Store Pumpkin Bread

This bread can be stored in a resealable container at room temperature. It can also be stored in the fridge, and that will help it to stay fresh a little longer.

How Long Will Pumpkin Bread Keep?

This bread will stay good for about 2-3 days at room tempareture and for about 3-4 days in the fridge.

How To Freeze Pumpkin Bread

The bread can be frozen for up to 3 months. Once it is completely cooled, wrap it tightly in aluminum foil and place in a resealable freezer bag.

To serve, thaw overnight in the fridge.
