Why would I share a pumpkin bread recipe when there are already millions out there? I’ve made many of those recipes and this one from The Foster's Market Cookbook that I’ve adapted over the years is my favorite. One more pumpkin bread recipe can’t hurt! Especially THIS recipe for 2 loaves of delicious, full-of-flavor, moist pumpkin bread!

How are you taking care of yourself this week?

How are you doing this week? It's been a stressful week that's for sure! Diving into activities that I love helps manage stress.

Baking and cooking are activities that have always helped me cope. I can lose myself in them completely. As you might guess, I’ve been baking and cooking a lot this week! One thing I’ve baked is pumpkin bread. The weather is turning chilly (sometimes) here in the DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia) and the leaves are turning which means it’s time to bake pumpkin bread. The leaves are also turning near Lancaster, PA where I took this photo a few weeks ago during a walk with my in-laws.

Some quick breads are too sweet for me, too dry, or not flavorful enough. This recipe takes care of all these issues and what you get is a not-too-sweet, moist, flavorful loaf (actually 2 loaves) of pumpkin bread!

This bread tastes even better the second day and the third, if there’s any left! I often freeze one of the two loaves. I like to make this in small loaf pans during the holidays and give friends four little loaves. 

This recipe for Spiced Pumpkin Bread makes 2 loaves.

Breakfast and snack ideas

I love having pumpkin bread for breakfast or a snack. A simple slice of this pumpkin bread is satisfying on its own. That said, here are a few more ways to serve this delicious pumpkin bread:

  • Toasted and topped with salted butter and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar
  • Alongside a mug of hot apple cider
  • Toasted and topped with almond butter (or sunflower butter) and a drizzle of maple syrup
  • Served with a side of maple yogurt and toasted pecans
  • Topped with nut butter (or sunflower butter) and thinly sliced apples
  • Leftover pumpkin bread (or any quick bread) works well in bread pudding

Speaking of sweets - what we say matters.

Did you have a chance to read Anna’s latest post? She writes about the importance of language around food, in particular sweets at Halloween. But, the advice in her post is relevant all year. Especially as we go into the holiday season and there tends to be more sweets around. Click here to read more on how to talk about sweets.
