Ingredients

  • wrapped2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups shredded fresh pumpkin
  • 1 cup toasted pumpkin seeds

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

Sift the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together.

In a separate bowl, mix the sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla. Combine both mixtures and fold in the shredded pumpkin and pumpkin seeds. Once the ingredients are all incorporated pour into a non- stick 9 by 5 by 3-inch loaf pan. If your pan is not non- stick coat it with butter and flour.

Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes. At this point a knife inserted into the middle of the loaf should come out clean. Cool for 15 minutes and turn out onto a cooling rack. Cool completely. For muffins temperature should also be 325 degrees F., but bake for 30 minutes.

    Wow this is the best pumpkin bread recipe ever! It was sooo moist! I added a little chopped crystalized ginger and omitted the pumpkin seeds. I think I will try the seeds next time. After reading other comments I used canned pumpkin and it turned out great. I did have to bake it for an additional 30 minutes which may have been due to using canned instead of fresh pumpkin?? Can't wait till pumpkin season gets here so I can try it with fresh pumpkin!!

    This is the best pumpkin bread I've had! I bake it for my husband and I. Also for his in-laws who don't like many desserts but they loved this! Every time I make it it's gone so quickly.
    I use 15/16 oz of canned pumpkin, cook on 350 degrees for 1 hour 30mins, sometimes a little longer. It's always perfect. Highly recommend this one!

    I was looking for a great banana muffin recipe but came across this instead. These were delicious! I actually substituted banana for the pumpkin and pumpkin seeds and also used 1 cup of regular sugar and 1/2 cup of brown sugar instead 1 1/2 cups of regular sugar. This pumpkin bread recipe turned out the best banana muffins I've made!
