Description

The flavors of pumpkin pie in a moist, dense quick bread.

Ingredients

  • 1 stick Butter, Softened
  • 1-½ cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 whole Large Eggs
  • 1 can Pumpkin Puree (15 Oz.)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1-½ cup All-purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Tablespoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • Chopped Nuts (optional)

Preparation

Grease or butter a 9×5 loaf pan and preheat oven to 350F.

In a large bowl with a hand mixer, cream butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs, then pumpkin puree and vanilla.

Sift dry ingredients if you want to get fancy (I don’t, so I won’t tell) into the bowl with the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix. Add nuts if desired (I do this with my rubber spatula as I’m getting ready to turn out my batter into the prepared pan).

Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 1 hour or until an inserted knife comes out clean.

This is fabulous on its own, and even better with a dollop of whipped cream or Cool Whip.

I know, I already commented on this as a review, but I’ve been making it almost weekly since it was socially acceptable to let my pumpkin obsession kick in again! On a whim, I added a tablespoon of cinnamon and another of ground nutmeg and it came out tasting more like ginger snap. Or, as my boyfriend says “It tastes like those fall crunchy cookies.” A definite plus since he doesn’t feel my need to make EVERYTHING taste like pumpkin. ;)

I just made this (well, the bread is still in the oven, but I had extra dough & made muffins as well, which are done and delicious)! Although I modified the recipe a great deal, due to not having any brown sugar and only half the butter called for. I agree with Sara, this recipe is wonderfully moist and delicious. I will definitely be making it again- this time with the proper ingredients!

This was so good and easy to make – it was devoured within twelve hours – even a 9 year old loved it!

Delish! I have been looking for a really moist pumpkin bread recipe that uses all natural ingredients since we don’t use vegetable oil. This one is awesome, delicious flavor and very moist. I would certainly make it again. I used only 1 cup of brown sugar to try to cut down the sugar content and I didn’t miss it. I thought it was plenty sweet and might even cut it back a tiny bit more.

WOW, sooo yummy. I hate pumpkin pie because of the texture, so I made this, and it is to die for. I ate a slice when it was still hot, with vanilla ice cream on top. I am making a second loaf tonight, because the first one is gone already. A co-worker said it should be named “Better Than Sex Bread”…and yes, it’s that good.

This is AMAZING. I made it with some pumpkin I had lying around. I wanted to make pumpkin bread but discovered I didn’t have enough white sugar.. but had plenty of brown! It was delicious, moist and wonderful for anyone who likes pumpkin. I’m making another loaf now with a brown sugar/splenda blend for my diabetic friend. :)
