This bread is perfect any time of year, but I especially love to make it in the fall.ย Slightly crunchy on the outside, and super moist on the inside, it’s a favorite in our family.

I like that there is just enough spice in this bread to not overpower that great pumpkin flavor.ย So delicious!

  1. Brandy, this looks absolutely delicious! My daughter is has recently been diagnosed w/ gluten/egg sensitivities, but I might have to make this and hide it from her! (haha!) I devour anything with pumpkin! Thanks for sharing! Great to read your first post! I am also enjoying your blog–as a mom of just 2 (for now!) I enjoy reading and learning from moms of many kids!

    1. @Erin@TheHumbledHomemaker,
      Try using bananas instead of eggs in baked goods. Green bananas give a similar texture as eggs without a banana flavor or if you don’t mind a slight banana flavor (I don’t) use an old banana that you didn’t get to enjoy while ripe. ๐Ÿ™‚

  2. Fall is my favorite season. One of my favorite things to make is pumpkin pie. Not only is it delicious but the whole house has that wonderful smell.

  3. Thank you! What a nice recipe with simple ingredients. I have fresh pumpkin from the Farmer’s market. I’m making this tonight.

  4. I’m a big believer that you can make “Pumpkin ________ ” (anything), and it would be crazy delicious. Especially with some cream cheese icing. ๐Ÿ™‚

    1. @Brandy, It was excellent. The only thing was that I substituted half kamut flour for the wheat flour and I think that made the baking time extra long (about 20 minutes longer). I’ll have to try it next time with wheat only and then I bet the 45 minutes would have been right on. Nonetheless, super yummy and a perfect fall treat!
