Fresh pumpkin bread loaves, still in the pan.

Pumpkin Bread

Amber Dawn | The Host Notes
This Pumpkin Bread is simple and delicious served warm with a pat of good butter, a drizzle of chocolate ganache, or my favorite way - with Brown Butter Cream Cheese Frosting. Moist, spiced pumpkin bread is the perfect fall bake.

Equipment

  • 2 Large loaf pans
  • Parchment paper
  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Whisk or hand-held mixer
  • Rubber or silicone spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 ½ cups canned pumpkin puree not pie filling
  • 2 ¾ cups brown sugar loosely packed
  • 1 cup avocado oil or other neutral vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • ⅔ cup water room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon cardamom
  • ½ teaspoon ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350F and prepare two large loaf pans with parchment paper and a bit of oil.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Use a whisk to combine.
  • In a separate bowl, combine pumpkin puree, sugar, oil, eggs, water, and spices. Use a whisk or handheld mixer to mix until well incorporated. Slowly add your dry ingredient mixture until combined and mostly free of lumps. All the flour should be absorbed, some small lumps are okay as long as there isn’t flour visible. Be thoughtful not to over-mix as this will create a less tender crumb. Set aside.
  • Fill each loaf pan about 3/4 full, leaving 1-1 ½ inches between the batter and the top of the loaf pan.
  • Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is fully set.
  • While the Pumpkin Bread is baking, make the Brown Butter Cream Cheese Frosting and chill in the fridge until ready to use.
  • Remove the pans from the oven and cool completely before frosting, slicing, and serving.
