Easy Pumpkin Bread
You are going to love this Pumpkin Bread because it is easy to make, moist, perfectly spiced and just plain delicious! It is also very versatile as you can swap out pumpkin seeds for chocolate chips and/or nuts or just leave them out altogether. Any way you choose, this bread is divine any way you eat it.
Fall is just around the corner, and even though it isn’t technically Fall yet…I think pumpkin season has begun! To be honest with you I’m a bit sad that Fall is coming because I love Summer so much. I much prefer the warmer weather over the ever-cooling temperatures coming up.
However, there are also many things I love about Fall. The beautiful changing colours of the leaves, apple picking which also means Apple Pie, homemade comforting soups, Fall candles and decor…. and of course everything pumpkin!
You will want to add this Pumpkin Bread to your Fall baking list for sure. No more overpaying for a Starbucks slice when you can make a whole loaf for the same price and enjoy the tantalizing scent of pumpkin spice as it bakes.
How to Make Pumpkin Bread from Scratch
Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl sift together 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1 and 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour, 3/4 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon f baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg and 1/4 teaspoon of cloves.
In a smaller bowl combine the following wet ingredients: 1 and 1/2 cups of pure pumpkin, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup of melted coconut oil, 1/4 cup of milk, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Add to the flour mixture and stir until blended. You can stir in any optional additional ingredients at this point such as chocolate chips, and nuts. Pour into a greased loaf pan
Bake in preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick or skewer inserted comes out clean. Let cool completely in the pan before removing.
This Easy Pumpkin Loaf freezes well too. Just place in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months in the freezer.
