This moist Pumpkin Bread has become a favorite fall treat in our family! A delicious pumpkin loaf, topped with irresistible cinnamon sugar, and packed with amazing flavor. Best of all, this easy pumpkin bread recipe doesn’t require any yeast!!
Everyone who tries this bread agrees it’s the best Pumpkin Bread recipe they had tried. We fell in love so much we’ve now tried other variations like our Pumpkin Streusel Bread and Pumpkin Banana Bread!
Easy Pumpkin Bread
My mom has always been known for her bread. It always turns out SOOO good, and so soft, and she usually gets requests not only from the kids, but from anyone who has had her bread before (and that’s whatever it may be – cinnamon bread. banana bread, etc).
Today’s recipe is another one my mom adapted from Peanut Blossom (go check her out for even more great recipes!) It is so good and soft and has become a fall favorite.
We changed it up a bit by adding some cinnamon and sugar on top and love how moist and fall-ish it is. We have a feeling you’ll agree. 😉
How to Make Pumpkin Bread
One of the best parts about this bread is that it doesn’t require any yeast!! Yay for quick breads! Breads without yeast are so much faster, they don’t have to raise, and they’re pretty much fail proof. This recipe is no different!
PREP. Grease your 7×3 loaf pans.
BATTER. Mix your wet ingredients in one bowl, and your dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Once they’re each mixed, combine the two and stir until just blended. Then, pour into your prepared pans.
TOPPING. To make the topping, combine sugar and cinnamon and mix well. Sprinkle over the top of the bread mixture in the pans before baking.
BAKE. Bake at 350° for 50 minutes.
Told you it was simple! And the result is a very delicious and moist pumpkin bread with a cinnamon and sugar topping everyone will go nuts over!!
