Full Of Fall Spices

There aren’t any hot spices in this bread. We’re talking fall spices. Love them and the wonderful scent they fill the house with. There’s cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.

The aroma coming from the oven as this bread bakes is amazing. Pumpkin Bread couldn’t be easier to make. Just dump everything in a bowl and mix. That’s my kind of baking. You will have to wait an hour and a half for it to bake though. But your patience will be rewarded. And your house will smell heavenly by the time it is done.

This pumpkin bread is perfect just as is. No need to add any nuts, cream cheese, streusel, or drizzle of any kind.

Stays Moist For Days

With the addition of vegetable oil, this bread stays extra moist for days and the flavor gets better over time. Pumpkin bread is great to give as holiday gifts because of its long shelf life. And 99.9% of people would be much happier with pumpkin bread than fruit cake. So you may want to go ahead and double or triple this recipe and use mini loaves. Your neighbors will be happy.

Storage

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for up to 2 months.
