This easy pumpkin bread recipe is my go-to quick bread in the fall. It's the best with warm spices, a slightly sweet taste and always turns out soft, tender and moist.
Prep. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5" loaf pan.
Dry ingredients. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 Tablespoon pumpkin spice. Set aside.
Wet ingredients. In a large bowl, mix together 1 cup pumpkin puree, 2 eggs, 1 1/2 cups sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1/2 cup vegetable oil and 1/4 cup water.
Combine. Slowly add flour mixture to the pumpkin mixture and mix just until combined.
Bake. Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool. Allow bread to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes and then remove onto a cooling rack. Enjoy!
Notes
To freeze: Let bread cool completely, then wrap in plastic wrap or foil. Place the wrapped loaf in a freezer bag and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.Want to add chocolate chips? Check out my chocolate chip pumpkin bread recipe.
