Fall Pumpkin Bread

An easy pumpkin quick bread infused with the perfect blend of spices and fresh pumpkin puree. This pumpkin bread is light and not heavy or dense with a crispy cinnamon - sugar topping. 
Today I'm revisiting a post I blogged about back in 2008. When I first started blogging my picture taking skills were awful to say the least. Anytime I look at old posts I usually cringe at the photos. To fix this issue occasionally I will be revisiting old posts, and republishing them in a effort to make them more presentable. 

I'm starting with my absolute favorite Fall Pumpkin Bread. I have come to realize that pumpkin bread isn't just for fall. I say this because my son Carson loves pumpkin bread and he asks me to make it year round. I'm always surprised at how much he likes it. 

I got this recipe from a good friend back in 2007 and by far it's the best Pumpkin Bread I've ever had. Its light in texture and has the perfect blend of spices. I love the top of the bread because it's slightly crispy. The first time I tasted this pumpkin bread it was love at first bite. I knew I had to have the recipe. My friend was nice enough to share it with me and I've been making it ever since.

When the holidays roll around I like to make mini pumpkin breads for gift giving. This recipe will yields about 6-7 mini loaves. Place finished and cooled bread in a clear gift sacks tied with holiday ribbon and it makes the perfect gift.

I recommend only using only self rising flour and sifting it just as the recipe states. I tried it with all purpose flour once and the recipe was a flop. I even added the baking powder and soda but it was still a mess. I have included some step by step photos for you.

I pinned this, it looked so good. I am hoping it works as muffins. I like freezing then so when ever my family wants one they can just pull it out of the freezer.
this looks great must try it

Oh, this bread is delicious. You are one of the first food blogs I subscribed to, but I did not try this recipe until just today, after all of these years. It was wonderful. I used the self-rising flour, as you stated, and sifted it. We do not like straight nutmeg, so I substituted pumpkin pie spice for that. The only other thing I did was to add parchment paper rectangles to the bottoms of each of my 7 greased mini loaf pans, because of the high sugar content of the recipe. They slipped right out and are fantastic. Thank you, Tina.

Which version do you like best one with 1 cup oil or 1/2 oil and 1/2 butter?
Tina Butler said…
It is either all butter or all oil. Both versions are good.

I made this recipe for my family this week and they LOVED it. I added raisins in place of nuts. I'm now baking 4 more batches with and without raisins to give to my family at thanksgiving as door gifts. Thank you for sharing your recipe with us.

Its totally my fault but I didn't leave any headspace so I now have an oven full of bread. I guess maybe an inch from the top next time?
