MOIST PUMPKIN BREAD



Moist Pumpkin Bread image

VERY MOIST pumpkin bread with special topping. This makes a very nice gift-giving bread. You can make it all year long because it uses a can of 100% pure pumpkin puree. I use Libby's brand. The spices are just right in this recipe and enhance the flavor of the pumpkin. It's best served after it has mellowed for one day. A family favorite.

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 loaf, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup water
1 (15 ounce) pumpkin puree
1 3/4 cups plain flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons milk
1/4 cup pecans, chopped

Steps:

  • In a medium size bowl beat eggs and mix with sugar, oil, water and pumpkin.
  • In another bowl mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice. Combine wet ingredients with dry ingredients only until just blended. Do NOT overmix.
  • Pour into a greased and floured loaf pan. This bread fits perfectly in an 8.5 x 4.5 loaf pan. Bake in a 325 degree oven for 50 to 60 minutes.
  • For topping: In a small saucepan mix butter, brown sugar and milk. Boil only 2 1/2 minutes while stirring constantly. Immediately drizzle on top of loaf. Sprinkle with chopped pecans and press pecans lightly into topping.
  • Wrap and store until next day for serving. This will keep moisture inside. It is ok if bread "sweats" while wrapped.

MOIST PUMPKIN SPICE BREAD



Moist Pumpkin Spice Bread image

This may be the most delicious pumpkin bread recipe I've ever baked. I came up with this for my brother's 18th birthday and it has been devoured in just two days. I believe the applesauce in the recipe is what makes it so ooey-gooey moist. It's also low in fat as the applesauce replaces the oil that would normally be used. The recipe makes two loaves, one of which can be frozen or given to a friend.

RICH, MOIST SECRET INGREDIENT PUMPKIN BREAD



Rich, Moist Secret Ingredient Pumpkin Bread image

This is my favorite pumpkin bread recipe. It is very different from other pumpkin breads because it calls for some unusual ingredients that make it special. I almost always use freshly cooked and mashed pumpkin in this - I like to use a small pie pumpkin, which I cut into quarters, seed, and steam until tender, then remove the peel and mash. But I have used plain canned pumpkin as well - just don't accidentally use pumpkin pie filling - you need the plain puree. Prep time assumes you already have some pumpkin puree handy. The extra loaf freezes well. I have been making this for years, but originally found this in one of the "Best of the Best" series of US regional cookbooks.

SUPER MOIST PUMPKIN BREAD RECIPE - (4.1/5)



Super Moist Pumpkin Bread Recipe - (4.1/5) image

Provided by á-51214

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups sugar
3 1/3 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 tablespoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon cinnamon
4 whole eggs
1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin
1 cup oil
1 cup water
3 strips aluminum foil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Mix the wet ingredients (eggs, pumpkin, oil and water) in a separate bowl and add to the dry ingredients all at once. Mix well with a mixer till smooth and the delicious smell makes you start drooling slightly. Grease 3 loaf pans (9×4) and pour equal amounts of the yummy batter into each pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to an hour. You'll know it's ready when the top will start cracking and when you put a toothpick/knife in, it comes out clean. Set out to cool for about 5 minutes. Here's the trick on keeping it SUPER moist. After letting it cool for about 5 minutes, take out a roll of aluminum foil. Pull out a large piece and then turn over the pan to drop one of the loaves right smack in the middle. Quickly fold the foil over (taking care not to burn the crap out of your fingers) and secure very tightly. Then set aside and let it cool off while being wrapped in the foil. Repeat and do the same to the other 2 loaves. I'm telling you. This is some good stuff.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree: Fresh pumpkin puree will give your bread a more intense pumpkin flavor. To make your own puree, simply roast a pumpkin until tender and then scoop out the flesh.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: If you slice the bread while it's still warm, it will be more likely to crumble. Let it cool completely before slicing and serving.
  • Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature: Pumpkin bread will keep for up to 3 days at room temperature. You can also freeze the bread for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that's perfect for fall. With its moist texture and sweet, pumpkiny flavor, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a tasty snack or dessert, give pumpkin bread a try. You won't be disappointed!
