Moist & Fluffy Pumpkin Bread
Watch me make this moist and fluffy pumpkin bread from start to finish!
Happy Fall!!! My favorite season has finally arrived!! What better way to usher in the season than with this easy, moist and fluffy pumpkin bread recipe!
Pumpkin bread just reminds me so much of autumn, probably because that’s the only time I make it. I love how it leaves my kitchen smelling all heavenly, one of my favorite scents. If only I could find a decent pumpkin bread candle. Everyone I’ve smelled just had a gross artificial smell to it. So let me know if you come across a decent one.
I’ve posted this pumpkin bread recipe a few years ago on my blog but figured it was time to create a video to go along with it. It’s one of my favorite sweet bread to make and Isaac just loves this stuff! He’d eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if I’d let him.
This pumpkin bread recipe is pretty simple to make and it bakes up so beautiful! It has that perfect warm cinnamony-pumpkin flavor and stays moist for days (not that it will last that long) If you’re going to be doing a lot of holiday baking gift-giving definitely add this bread to the list. And even better, it just seems to get better as the days go by.

Notes
This bread freezes great!
Be careful not to overbake. Bread will continue to bake a little after it comes out of the oven.
I am not a good cook, but I think I can manage this one, thanks. Can you please tell me if it should be baked at 275 degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit? Thanks again.
Is 275 F right? It’s been an hour and my bread is no where close to done… I turned up the heat, hopefully that helps.
I want to use the white whole wheat flour for recipes like the pumpkin bread. My husband is diabetic and the switch from white flour to the WWW would be of a great benefit. Could I replace the whole amount of white flour with the same or less of the white whole wheat flour?
if we make mini muffins instead of bread do we still bake them for 1 hr and 10-20 mins? how long do we cook the muffins for?
Love this site..I neve baked and have been reluctant but thank you for keeping it simple..can’t wait to start! Love the videos..visual learner! Many blessings
Just made this with my 6 year old and they came out delicious!! We made two and it was so simple. Thanks for posting!
Hi Diva,
Just a question for you – you said that you used the Libby’s brand of pumpkin purée, is one can equivalent to two cups or will I need to buy more than one can (for that really noticeable pumpkin taste)?
By the way, the red velvet cake I made from your site is AMAZING. It’s my husband’s favorite kind of cake and he was so happy! I wasn’t a red velvet fan prior to that, but we ate the whole thing between the two of us in no time flat!
I enjoy your site and your son is adorable 🙂
Thanks and keep blogging!
