I just love love love to bake. I know, that fact is probably very obvious given the fact that the name of this blog is The Busy Baker, but even I sometimes forget just how much I truly love baking. When life gets busy and my time in the kitchen is limited I often long for those slower days that I love to spend kneading homemade bread dough, making soup from scratch and baking pies, muffins and cookies for my hungry family and friends.

If I had to pick, I’d say muffins and loaves are my favourite things to bake because they’re so easy, infinitely customizable and they’re often much tastier than you’d expect, based on how easy they are to throw together. I’ve shared a few of my tried and true muffin recipes with you already (like these Best Ever Banana Muffins or these Lemon Pistachio Muffins), but this Best Ever Pumpkin Spice Bread recipe is in a league of its own.

During the fall and winter season this Best Ever Pumpkin Spice Bread is one of my absolute favourite things to bake. The recipe is easy and straightforward – I can almost make it in my sleep – and it turns out simply beautifully every single time, creating a super moist, fluffy loaf with the most delicious pumpkin spice flavour you could ever hope for.

And aside from the fact that this Best Ever Pumpkin Spice Bread is one of MY favourite recipes, it’s also one of my most-requested recipes from friends and family or anyone I’ve ever made it for. It gets rave reviews every time I make it and it’s been a staple in my kitchen for about 10 years now! It can be made as loaves or muffins but I like making it as loaves because it’s easier to freeze this way and let’s be honest…nobody likes washing muffin tins!

Author Chrissie (thebusybaker.ca)

Ingredients

  • 2 cups canned pumpkin (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 2/3 cups white sugar
  • 2/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 1/4 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon cloves
  • 1-2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger (or 2 teaspoons powdered ginger)
  • a pinch of salt
  • Butter for greasing the loaf pans

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. In the bowl of your stand mixer (or in a large bowl using a hand mixer), add the pumpkin, sugar, oil and eggs and beat on low speed until the mixture is combined and smooth.

  3. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, ginger, and salt and mix on low speed, just until combined and no streaks of flour are visible.

  4. Grease 2 loaf pans with butter and line with parchment paper.

  5. Divide the batter evenly between the loaf pans and bake for 55-60 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of one of the loaves comes out clean.

  6. Remove from the oven and cool in the pans for about 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

  7. Serve when cool, or store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

Recipe Notes

These Best Ever Pumpkin Spice Bread loaves freeze well in a ziploc bag or an airtight container and keep in the freezer for several months. Defrost completely before serving.

    • Great question! If you’re using freshly roasted pumpkin I’d chill it before using it and drain any excess water before adding it to the recipe. I’ve done it this way before and it works just fine. Just be sure you use the same measurement as the recipe calls for 🙂
