Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice

Break out your best loaf pan, because there’s no way you’ll be able to browse through these recipes and not immediately want to try one. We can’t choose a favorite pumpkin recipe — how can you choose between pumpkin pie, roasted pumpkin seeds and pumpkin soup, all perfect in their own way? But we can easily say pumpkin bread is a classic we never get tired of making. The great thing about it is that it’s easy to enjoy year-round; many of these recipes call for canned pumpkin, so there’s no need to wait until fall. (If you’re at the height of PSL season, though, and want to pair your next slice with a pumpkin spice latte, we support that!) Start with our recipe for The Best Pumpkin Bread. It's perfectly moist, easy to make and not too sweet. You can toast it and slather with butter or cream cheese, or maybe even try a slice with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.

Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread

We combined the beloved ingredients in pumpkin bread — creamy pumpkin puree, warm fall spices and a generous pour of vanilla — but omitted any dairy or eggs for a completely plant-based seasonal treat. Vegan dark chocolate chips stirred into the batter and scattered on top add extra flavor and texture.

Pumpkin-Shaped Pumpkin Bread

This yeasted bread, made with pumpkin puree, brown sugar and a hint of cinnamon, is sure to become a fall favorite. Thanks to a few cleverly placed pieces of kitchen twine that shape the dough as it rises, the resulting loaf looks just like a pumpkin — complete with a fragrant cinnamon-stick stem!
