THE BEST PUMPKIN BREAD



The Best Pumpkin Bread image

This pumpkin bread is perfectly moist, not-too-sweet and couldn't be easier. It's perfect for toasting and slathering with butter or cream cheese, and maybe a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.

When my son was in "Delightful Day" pre-school (he's 14 now) they had a Thanksgiving Day Feast. They served this recipe. However, instead of baking it into loaves they made mini muffins.To date, this is by far the best pumpkin bread/muffin I have ever had. Very easy to make and soooo moist! Such a pleasure to pass this along to everyone at this wonderful site! Enjoy! PS - This freezes great! Get a jump on holiday cooking!

WORLD'S BEST PUMPKIN BREAD EVER



World's Best Pumpkin Bread Ever image

This is a great pumpkin bread/cake recipe. It makes three "loaves." If you're looking for a savory bread with undertones of pumpkin, you're in the wrong place--this recipe has a relatively rich and wonderfully moist and sweet consistency. This recipe can easily can be used for a pumpkin bundt cake as well. This bread/cake does not need a glaze to stay moist, so if you insist on glazing it, only add glaze (perhaps as a dip or drizzle) as you eat it so you don't exceed the liquid capacity of the batter and cause it to fall apart. Refrigerate if not consumed within the first 1-3 days (depending on the temperature/humidity in your home). A close friend's mother's recipe (mad props Sarah H.)! Edits to description December 27, 2012. No changes made to ingredients or directions.

BEST EVER PUMPKIN BREAD



Best Ever Pumpkin Bread image

This is sweet, moist and easy to make! The original recipe called for cinnamon & nutmeg...items I have on hand BUT I accidentally bought canned pumpkin pie mix instead of plain ole canned pumpkin. So I omitted the spices, cut back on the sugar and went with the pie mix...IT IS DELICIOUS-and fool proof! I used 6 aluminum mini loaf pans so that I could gift the bread. But the original recipe calls for 2 loaf pans. You choose! Serving sizes, yield and cooking times vary depending on what type and number of loaf pans used.

Time 50m

Yield 6 mini loafs, 20-30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 cups white sugar
1 cup cooking oil (I use safflower oil)
4 eggs
3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour (I use white whole wheat)
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2/3 cup water
15 ounces canned pumpkin pie mix (I used half of a 30 oz can)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Grease the bottom and sides of your loaf pans. I used spray oil. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl beat sugar and oil. I use a whisk always, but you can use an electric mixer. Add eggs and beat well. Set sugar mixture aside.
  • In another large bowl combine flour, baking soda and salt.
  • Alternately add flour mixture and water to the sugar mixture. Beat after each addition until just combined. Beat in pumpkin. Spoon batter into prepared pans.
  • In the 6 mini loaf pans I baked for 35 minutes and then checked and baked for another 4 minutes. In 2 loaf pans I would bake for 50 minutes and then check. It depends on your oven. When done, cool in the pans on a wire rack.
  • Enjoy plain or with butter! This is a sweet bread!
