I love pumpkin. Especially this time of year. I’ll put it in just about everything: smoothies, pasta, soup… So it only makes sense that I incorporate it in bread.

This pumpkin bread is delicious and perfect for breakfast. It’s full of spices, slightly sweet, and goes perfect with butter melted over it when slightly warmed. Even better? It’s easy to put together. With simplistic steps, you can easy put this together without much effort.

What You Need

• ¾ cup canned pumpkin
• 1 egg
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 ¼ cup flour
• ¾ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon nutmeg
• ½ teaspoon clove
• ¼ teaspoon pumpkin spice
• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• ¼ cup milk

How You Do It

1. Grease a loaf tin with vegetable oil. Or, for easy cleanup, line with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 375F.
2. Combine pumpkin, egg, and sugar.
3. Add in the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and pumpkin spice.
4. Mix in the oil and milk.
5. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

When done, slice and enjoy.

As I mentioned above, this is bread is best served warm, with the butter smeared over the top.

Be on the lookout for another recipe later this month involving this pumpkin bread (!), but, until then, give this a try and let me know how it goes. Hope you’re enjoying October as much as I am.

Until next time,
