Easy Pumpkin Spice Bread
My Easy Pumpkin Bread recipe is a favourite fall dessert around here. It’s moist and packed with pumpkin flavour and a great way to use up any leftover canned pumpkin. It’s great for breakfast or snack.
It’s no surprise that I love love love to bake and try new recipes out, and when the seasons change I use what’s available to that season. So during the fall season I will use apples and pumpkins in my recipes and this one is a favourite of mine. It’s pretty easy and straight forward, it turns out great every time. It’s moist and deliciously full of pumpkin flavour.

This recipe is SO easy that you don’t even need a mixer for this, one bowl and spoon will do.
For this easy pumpkin spice bread you need:
- Oil- I use vegetable here but canola will do as well.

- Canned Pumpkin- Well of course any canned pumpkin you like will do, as long as it’s 100% pumpkin.
- Vanilla Extract- Always a dash for flavour.
- Baking Soda & Baking Powder- Helps give bread it’s rise.
- Salt-to offset sweet.

- Flour- I always use all-purpose but you can use 1:1 Gluten Free All Purpose.
FAQ’s
What size pan do I use?
This recipe uses a 9×5 loaf pan but an 8×4 will work too.
How do I store pumpkin bread?
This bread keeps well covered on counter for 2 days or in fridge for up to 4 days. You can also freeze it, just wrap the entire bread in plastic wrap and freeze or wrap individual slices and take out how ever many you need. Defrost overnight in fridge.
Why is it dry?
The key is to not over bake it, remember it continues to bake while cooling so you take it out when toothpick insert is a little wet with few crumbs on it.
This recipe has been a great hit around here, we can’t get enough of it and I hope it becomes a hit in your house as well.
