Notes
- Use canned or homemade pumpkin puree: Pumpkin puree is the star ingredient in pumpkin bread, so using high-quality pumpkin puree can make a big difference in the flavor of your bread. You can use canned pumpkin puree or make your own by roasting and pureeing fresh pumpkin.
- Use room temperature ingredients: Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature before mixing them together. This helps the ingredients to mix together evenly and ensures that your bread will bake evenly.
- Use the right amount of leavening agents: Baking powder and baking soda are both leavening agents that help the bread rise. Make sure to measure out the correct amount of each and don't overdo it, as too much can cause the bread to collapse.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can lead to tough, dense bread. Mix the ingredients together just until they are combined, and avoid overmixing.
- Add spices for extra flavor: Pumpkin bread is often made with spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Add these spices to your bread to give it a warm, cozy flavor.
- Grease your loaf pan: Make sure to grease your loaf pan well with butter or cooking spray to prevent the bread from sticking to the pan.
