I honestly have no idea where I got this recipe. It's been hanging out in my recipe box as long as I've been doing holiday baking and I make it every year to put in my gift baskets at Christmas. It's always a huge hit and it's a little lower cal than most pumpkin breads. Oh . . . and it's milk free for those with milk allergies! Hope you like it as much as we do!

Tips:

  • To ensure moist and flavorful pumpkin bread, use fresh pumpkin puree. You can make your own puree by roasting and blending pumpkin chunks, or use canned pumpkin puree for convenience.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense bread. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • For a crispy crust, brush the top of the bread with melted butter before baking.
  • To prevent the bread from sticking to the pan, grease and flour the loaf pan before pouring in the batter.
  • Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help the bread to set and hold its shape.
