Instructions

- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix!
- If you want to add a nutty crunch to your bread, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans at this stage.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 60–70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The lovely aroma will fill your kitchen, making it hard to wait!
- Once baked, let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once your pumpkin bread has cooled, it’s ready to be sliced and enjoyed. Whether you enjoy it plain, with butter, or as a base for an indulgent dessert, this recipe is sure to become a favorite in your household. So, grab a slice and savor the delightful taste of fall!
