    This super moist Pumpkin Bread recipe I am sharing today is my mother's. I admit it; it is super delicious and easy to make! Made with canned pumpkin puree and spiced with cinnamon & nutmeg.

    Moist Pumpkin Bread

    I am back with another easy pumpkin recipe. This time, it is a moist pumpkin bread recipe made with few ingredients, loaded with pumpkin flavour, soft, fluffy, and has the right sweetness and spices ratio.

    This is my go-to a fall-time treat; it is simple and easy to follow, and it always turns out great and never disappoints. I find this recipe hard to beat!

    For me, a piece or two of this bread with a cup of Oat Milk Hot Chocolate is a perfect breakfast. You can also enjoy it as a dessert or snack; it is just excellent at any time.

    Ingredients

    Ingredients for the recipe.

    Note: This is an overview of the ingredients. See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.

    Butter: I use unsalted butter to get moist bread with a perfect texture.

    Granulated sugar: You may also use refined cane sugar, dates syrup, coconut sugar, maple syrup or even honey.

    Eggs: I like to use eggs that are at room temperature for the best texture.

    Pumpkin puree: I use canned pumpkin puree for this recipe. However, you may also use homemade pumpkin puree.

    Vanilla extract: I use it for some added flavor.

    All-purpose flour: I use use all-purpose flour; however, whole wheat flour will go well in this recipe too.

    Baking powder & Baking soda: It helps the dough rise and expand.

    Ground cinnamon & Nutmeg: Adds a subtle and sweet taste to the bread. You can use pumpkin spices instead.

      I baked this bread! It is absolutely delicious! I didn’t have nutmeg, so I only used cinnamon. Definitely will make it again.
