Pumpkin bread a delicious way to head into September, October and November! It’s been the recipe of this fall season. In search for the perfect bread recipe, I have made and changed this recipe 12 times in the last three weeks in attempt to make it perfect for you. I can tell you that it is my family’s new favorite bread.
After several test runs there are a few ways this recipe can take a turn for the worse, so make sure you don’t: 1. over mix, 2. use old baking soda, 3. use bad canned pumpkin (Trader Joe’s, sorry, I love your store and your products, but your canned pumpkin is not the best), 4. Bake in an oven that isn’t hot enough, 5. forget to spray your pan.
If you don’t do any of the things above your pumpkin bread is going to be amazing. It’s kid friendly, freezer friendly and a crowd pleaser!
