Tips:

  • To ensure even baking, it's important to properly measure your ingredients. Use a kitchen scale for accurate measurements of dry ingredients like flour, sugar, and spices. For wet ingredients like pumpkin puree, oil, and milk, use measuring cups with clear markings.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense bread. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • For a moist and flavorful bread, use fresh pumpkin puree. You can make your own pumpkin puree by roasting a pumpkin and pureeing it, or you can use canned pumpkin puree.
  • If you don't have dates on hand, you can substitute raisins or dried cranberries.
  • To add a crunchy topping, sprinkle the top of the batter with chopped walnuts or pecans before baking.
  • Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help the bread to set and firm up.
