Tips:

  • For a moist and flavorful loaf, use fresh pumpkin puree. You can make your own puree by roasting a pumpkin and then scooping out the flesh, or you can buy canned pumpkin puree.
  • If you don't have any pumpkin pie spice, you can make your own by combining 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves.
  • The batter will be thick, so be sure to grease and flour the loaf pan well before pouring in the batter.
  • To test if the bread is done, insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf. If it comes out clean, the bread is done.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving.
