OK – I’m just going to say it. I used to be anti pumpkin everything. Anti pumpkin lattes, anti pumpkin bread, and definitely anti pumpkin pie. (I know, I know – that might anger some of you).
But ever since I met my husband, pumpkin has started to grow on me and it’s because of Super Moist Pumpkin Spice Bread!

Super Moist Pumpkin Spice Bread

Well, kind of! My husband likes pumpkin bread but used to only eat box mix. That’s fine, not really an issue since I never had a recipe for pumpkin bread.

That is until I was digging through a recipe book my husband’s mom gave me and voila! A pumpkin spice bread recipe. And it’s his great grandmother’s recipe no less!

This recipe is super easy and super tasty!

It’s important to make sure your ground spices are always the freshest they can be. If not, they lose flavor and potency. If you think you might not use all of your spices before they reach that point, I urge you all to buy the smaller containers of spices.

Generally, it’s best to make sure your ingredients are room temperature, even your eggs. This helps your pastries get fluffier! (There are some instances where a recipe may call for cold ingredients, it’s best to follow what’s specified in the recipe).

When you buy your canned pumpkin, make sure there isn’t any added sugar and that you’re getting 100% pure pumpkin. Above all else, I am a Libby’s fan. It is by far the BEST puree, the most flavorful, and with the most vibrant colors.

Next, line your loaf tins as the picture below shows and you’ll make your life so much easier when it comes to removing the bread from the pans after they bake.

This bread, like banana bread, is best eaten fully cooled. Remove the bread from the tins after a few minutes to speed up the cooling process.
