Pumpkin Bread
Fall is here, and since it was a cloudy day and we were bored, my son and I decided to bake some pumpkin bread. My kids baked a pumpkin pie last weekend with their Grandma Fran, and it was so good that it made me crave more pumpkin recipes. We had a lot of fun making this flavorful & easy pumpkin bread recipe, and it turned out so moist and delicious. My kids LOVED it, they both had two pieces and asked if they could have it for dessert after dinner.

All the colour and aroma of autumn! This looks fab & I'm not surprised your kids loved it!
Amazing work Pam…really looking yummy n am tempted to prepare them immediately…sure will give a try soon..

Believe it or not I’ve never had pumpkin bread before. I love walnuts and those spices sound great so I might give it a try this fall. Looks delicious!
This looks so good. I just love autumn food.
I love pumpkin bread. I make it every year for our neighbors and friends. My in-laws go crazy over it, so I’m baking like nine loaves for all of them this year!
I’m not a big pumpkin fan (I know I know) but I know plenty who are. This actually looks really good!
I sure wish I could have a slice of that this morning for breakfast, especially so full of nuts. Congrats on your well-deserved award!
That looks so yummy! Note to self, make some pumpkin bread this weekend! 🙂
Thanks for the recipe!
I have never made Pumpkin Bread,looks delicious!
I’ve been meaning to make pumpkin bread for a while now (years, really), and this is so pretty that I might just get my butt in gear and try it!
Pumpkin is calling my name. I haven’t had time to make anything with it yet, but I will soon! I love it! Your bread looks extra good too!
I’ve been wanting to make banana bread but we can never seem to let the bananas sit around long enough (we eat them). This sounds easy and like it would fill that craving! Thanks for the recipe!

This looks divine, especially with the butter on it. That’s exactly how my plate would look!!!!
I love everything pumpkin. Your bread looks fantastic and I’m sure it made your kitchen smell great.
Those are my favorite spices… cloves, nutmeg, & ginger. I try to sneak them whenever I can. Love the texture of the pumpkin bread.
CONGRATULATIONS, PAMELA. YOUR DAD AND I ARE PROUD OF YOU. GOING TO MAKE YOUR FRITATTA THIS MORNING. LOVE, MOM
Your pumpkin bread looks wonderful Pam,perfect for fall..and what a coincidence just today I was staring at the can of pumpkin puree in my pantry wondering when I am going to use it…I will positively try this soon..oh and thanks so much for your wonderful words 🙂
That bread looks delish!
what a terrific color! i think bread looks exponentially more tasty the more buttah you put on it. 🙂
that’s a little bit of butter??? Just kidding…all that butter looks divine on top of the pumpkin bread. I couldn’t resist a slice if were in front of me!
What a beautiful pumpkin bread! I’ve been craving pumpkin lately too! Wish I had a slice of this to satisfy that craving! It looks so moist too.
Pumpkin pie bread is really good. Great shot with the melting butter!
I simply love pumpkin bread, I make some every year. I don’t use nuts instead i replace them with chocolate chips.
there are my fav spices in and its a unique bread…love the soft texture..
ohh i just made pumpkin bread the other day! i haven’t posted it yet, though. this one looks delicious, though!
Yum! This is in my oven right now, smelling delicious–thanks for sharing!

Just pulled this out of the oven – it’s extremely delicious! What a fantastic recipe.

Pam,
I tried out your pumpkin bread this weekend and it was GREAT! Thanks for the recipe. My adaptation is here.
Yikes I just saw the “Ask before using” thing on your blog! Is it okay?
I’ve never made pumpkin bread, but I love anything with pumpkins. Being a novice baker who’s just recently been discovering that baking isn’t really that complicated, I’m very keen on new simple recipes that will boost my baking confidence a bit more. I haven’t bought any pumpkins this year yet, but I will and this is now on the top of my “to make” list!
This looks like a great recipe! I love walnuts in bread.For something different I bet dried cranberries would also be yummy!
This looks really yummy. I bet it tastes just as good- the crunchy nuts amidst the softness of the bread….oooh!!! It’s perfect for a guilt-free breakfast too!
Second time baking this bread this week. Smells delicious. A wonderful fall treat!
In your banana bread recipe you use melted butter and here are using vegetable oil, what is the difference?
