Tips:

  • Freshly Grated Nutmeg: If possible, use freshly grated nutmeg for the best flavor. Pre-ground nutmeg can lose its potency over time.
  • Measure Flour Correctly: To ensure accurate measurements, use a kitchen scale to measure the flour. Alternatively, spoon the flour into a measuring cup and level it off with a knife.
  • Evenly Distribute Raisins and Pecans: Before adding the raisins and pecans to the batter, toss them in a small bowl with a spoonful of flour. This will help prevent them from clumping together.
  • Properly Grease and Flour the Pan: To prevent the bread from sticking to the pan, grease it thoroughly with butter or cooking spray and then lightly dust it with flour.
  • Check for Doneness: Insert a toothpick or skewer into the center of the bread. If it comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached, the bread is done.
  • Glaze the Bread (Optional): For a shiny and sweet crust, brush the top of the bread with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk while it's still warm.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin bread with raisins and pecans is a classic fall treat that is easy to make and loved by many. By following these tips and the detailed recipe, you can create a moist, flavorful, and aromatic bread that is perfect for any occasion.
