Our pumpkin bread recipe perfects the fall loaf by being super-moist and tender with just the right amount of pumpkin flavor, and is also easy to whip up.

Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 2 c. (240 g.) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp. ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 c. (250 g.) granulated sugar
  • 1 c. pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 c. (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 c. sour cream
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • Demerara sugar and cinnamon sugar, for sprinkling (optional)

Directions

  1. 1

    Arrange a rack in center of oven; preheat to 350°. Line an 8" x 4" loaf pan with parchment, leaving an overhang on 2 long opposite sides. Grease with cooking spray.

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, ginger, and nutmeg.

  3. 3

    In a large bowl, using a handheld mixer on medium-high speed, beat eggs, granulated sugar, pumpkin puree, butter, sour cream, and vanilla until light and fluffy.

  4. 4

    Gradually add dry ingredients to egg mixture and beat on low speed until just combined. Transfer batter to prepared pan. Sprinkle with demerara sugar, then cinnamon sugar (if using).

  5. 5

    Bake bread until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool slightly.
