Pumpkin Bread Recipe

As soon as fall rolls around, I go into baking mode, and this pumpkin bread recipe is one of my go-to fall recipes to welcome in the season. I've perfected it to strike the ideal balance between moistness, warm spices, and just the right amount of sweetness. You don’t even need a stand mixer - let me show you how easy it is!

Instructions

  1. Set your oven rack in the middle of your oven and preheat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line the bottom of a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper and spray lightly with oil.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, pumpkin spice, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with both of the sugars. Add the pumpkin puree, oil, and vanilla and whisk well.
  4. Add the dry ingredients and the chocolate chips (if using) to the wet ingredients and gently fold them together. Do not over mix!
  5. Pour the batter into the loaf pan, smooth the top, and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over the top.
  6. Bake the loaf for 60-65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Make sure to cover the loaf loosely with aluminum foil after 40 minutes to prevent it from getting too dark. Let it cool completely before removing it from the pan and slicing it.

Notes

  • Note 1: If you don't have pumpkin spice, you can make it by mixing the following ground spices: 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon, ½ teaspoon nutmeg, ½ teaspoon ginger, ¼ teaspoon allspice, and ¼ teaspoon cloves. 
  • Note 2: I use Farmer's Market pumpkin puree, which (here in Canada) comes in 398 ml (14-ounce) cans. If your can is a little larger, add the extra to soup, chili, or even tomato sauce. 
  • Note 3: To make cinnamon sugar, combine 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar with ¾ teaspoon of cinnamon.
  • Note 4: I tested this recipe with white chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, and mini chocolate chips. All but one of our taste testers preferred white chocolate chips (the odd one out preferred mini chocolate chips.) But honestly, all chocolate is good in this recipe, so feel free to add what you have on hand.
