Tips:

  • Use canned pumpkin puree: Fresh pumpkin can be difficult to work with, and canned pumpkin puree is just as delicious and nutritious.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a loaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches: A smaller pan will make the bread too thick, and it will take longer to bake.
  • Bake the bread at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50-60 minutes: Check the bread with a toothpick after 50 minutes. If it comes out clean, the bread is done.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help the bread hold its shape.
  • Serve the bread with butter, cream cheese, or your favorite spread: Pumpkin bread is also delicious on its own.

Conclusion:

This lighter pumpkin bread recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make fall treat. It's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With its moist texture and flavorful pumpkin spice, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a tasty and healthy way to enjoy the flavors of fall, give this lighter pumpkin bread recipe a try.
