MOIST PUMPKIN SPICE BREAD



Moist Pumpkin Spice Bread image

This may be the most delicious pumpkin bread recipe I've ever baked. I came up with this for my brother's 18th birthday and it has been devoured in just two days. I believe the applesauce in the recipe is what makes it so ooey-gooey moist. It's also low in fat as the applesauce replaces the oil that would normally be used. The recipe makes two loaves, one of which can be frozen or given to a friend.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality pumpkin puree. Fresh or canned pumpkin puree will work well, but avoid using pumpkin pie filling, as it contains added sugar and spices.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can make the bread dry.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help the bread to hold its shape.
  • Serve the bread with a dollop of whipped cream, cream cheese, or your favorite spread.
