Best Pumpkin Bread Recipe

Here is the best pumpkin bread recipe to add to your baking list this fall. Yes, calling something the “best” is a bold claim, but we think this pumpkin bread is darn good.

The Best Pumpkin Bread Recipe to Make this Fall

Fall is here, and we are ready to fully embrace all of the pumpkin goodness that comes with it.

What better way to welcome the season than with a slice of pumpkin bread and mug full of pumpkin spice latte?

Pumpkin bread is something to have around all season long if you ask me. It’s good for breakfast, a snack, dessert, a brunch treat, and excellent to have around for guests.

Warm it up with a little butter to make it even more irresistible. It’s not as sweet as pumpkin pie or as indulgent as pumpkin ice cream but still has the ability to satisfy most pumpkin cravings.

This recipe makes two loaves. Why not make one for your home and one for a friend? Surprise a neighbor with a loaf, or bring one to a family gathering. If you have a big family, both loaves are sure to be gone in no time!

If you make four mini loaves instead, you can wrap them up nicely as little gifts. Everyone loves a food gift.

If you love making fall breads as much as I do, also add this savory zucchini bread to your list. Pizza lovers will especially enjoy the cheesy zestiness of that zucchini bread recipe!

Of course, you can add nuts or chips or anything else you like to mix into bread recipes, but it doesn’t need it.

If you choose to make four mini loaves, that’s the perfect opportunity to experiment with add-ins. Another recipe we love is chocolate chip pumpkin bread.
