    Pumpkin Bread

    Pumpkin Bread is a classic holiday recipe that is very popular during the fall season. Everyone knows Pumpkin is fresh and found in plenty during the fall season. This is when the bread is baked usually.

    Pumpkin puree along with the species gives the best ever pumpkin bread. I adapted the recipe from the Once Upon a Chef. I have made few modifications to the recipe and the result is so amazing. This is one fail-proof and trustworthy recipe.

    Vegan Pumpkin Bread

    The recipe I have shared here is the classic version, It uses Butter and Egg. But we can very well make it as a vegan version. Instead, you can use ¼ cup of any flavorless oil and ¼ cup of almond milk or any nut milk. Along with 1 tsp of White Vinegar.
    I will post the vegan Pumpkin bread soon.

    Ingredients to prepare Pumpkin Bread

    Pumpkin Puree

    Pumpkin puree is the base for the dish. You can use either store-bought or homemade pumpkin puree. It may have some natural sweetness from the pumpkin.

    Eggs

    Traditional Pumpkin bread always uses egg for a beautiful airy texture in the bread, So I went with the same.

    Flour

    I used ½ cup APF and ½ cup Whole Wheat Flour. We can also use APF fully or Wheat flour fully. Traditional bread uses APF.

    Cinnamon , Nutmeg Powder

    Cinnamon and Nutmeg are the main spices and this is a mandatory ingredient. You can also add ¼ tsp cloves powder. But Cinnamon and Nutmeg are the main spices and it is not to miss.

    Sugar

    I used Refined white sugar. But we can definitely use brown sugar as well.

    How to Prepare Pumpkin Bread, Pictorial

    1) In a Mixing bowl add in 6 tbsp of Butter . to this add in 1 cup of refined sugar. Using a hand blender cream the butter and sugar together until they are well combined.

    2) Break open an egg and then beat the egg once again using a hand blender until the sugar and egg are well combined.

    3) To this add in 1 cup of pumpkin puree. Using a hand blender beat everything together until well combined. The mixture will look grainy at this stage. You can use either can or homemade pumpkin puree.

    4) Now in another mixing bowl add ½ cup of all-purpose flour and ½ cup of Whole Wheat flour.

    5) To this add ½ tsp of Baking Soda ¼ tsp of Baking powder and ⅛ tsp of salt. Combine everything using a whisk.

    6) Next add in ½ tsp of cinnamon powder and ½ tsp of Nutmeg powder. Combine everything with a whisk.

    7) Now to the dry ingredients add in wet ingredients. Using a hand blender beat everything once again so that the ingredients are well combined.

    8) Line a loaf pan with butter and parchment paper. Transfer the batter to the baking pan. Tap the pan twice to remove the air bubbles if any.

    9) Preheat the oven at 180 Deg C for 10 mins and then bake at 180 Deg C for about 50 to 60 mins or until a toothpick when inserted comes out clean.

    10 ) Wait for 10 mins and then run a knife through the edges of the pan and invert it. The loaf will come out clean. Remove the parchment paper.

    11) Wait till the bread cools down completely and then slice and serve.

    Variations to Pumpkin Bread:

    As always we can do various changes in any recipe. Yet I feel the classics should remain untouched. This is one such recipe. Follow all the instructions to the T for the perfect bread. Few Changes if you prefer a healthy version.

    • You can use Wheat flour fully.
    • We can replace Refined white sugar with brown sugar or cane sugar.
    • Use homemade pumpkin puree for the fresh bread.
    • You can top the bread with few pumpkin seeds for a nice texture.

    Storage and Serving Suggestions:

    The bread stays good in the room temperate for 2 days. Store in Fridge beyond that. However I recommend finishing it in 3 or 4 days not more than that.

    Serve Pumpkin bread as a breakfast along with milk and cereal.It also goes well as an evening snack with some coffee or Tea.

      Such pretty looking slices of bread! I have been wanting to bake with pumpkin and have only managed to bake one with cocoa powder which turned out so moist. I have to try something else soon now looking at your post...
