Yummy! This is a simple, old-fashioned, no-frills pumpkin bread. The smell of this pumpkin bread filled the Test Kitchen with the comforting smells of fall. This was moist, delicious and we loved the flavor the ground pecans gave this bread without giving it too much crunch. A delicious sugary crust forms on top.

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 14

MIX BELOW INGREDIENTS TOGETHER WELL:
1 can(s) 100% pure pumpkin, 15 oz can (use whole can)
3 c sugar
3 eggs
1 c vegetable oil
MIX BELOW INGREDIENTS TOGETHER WELL:
3 c all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground clove
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp baking soda
1 c ground pecans **add pecans in last after batter is mixed**

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using a mixer, combine all wet ingredients and sugar, mixing only until they are well incorporated.
  • 2. Now combine the remaining dry ingredients (except pecans) in a separate bowl.
  • 3. Then using a measuring cup or large spoon, slowly add in scoops of dry ingredients mixing well between each addition, do not over mix batter.
  • 4. Once dry ingredients are mixed in well, add in pecans being sure to mix them in evenly.
  • 5. Grease and flour 2 bread pans.
  • 6. Fill pans halfway with batter.
  • 7. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 - 60 minutes.
  • 8. **Note: This recipe originally calls for it to be baked in 3 (1 lb) coffee cans. But since they no longer make the metal coffee cans you can use the bread pans. If you do happen to find the coffee cans, then by all means use them. It gives the bread a really nice design.**

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree: Fresh pumpkin puree gives the bread a more intense pumpkin flavor. You can make your own puree by roasting a pumpkin and then scooping out the flesh, or you can use canned pumpkin puree.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a loaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches: A smaller loaf pan will make the bread too thick and dense.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 50-60 minutes.
  • Let the bread cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting to set properly.

Conclusion:

Old-fashioned pumpkin bread is a classic fall treat. It is a moist and flavorful bread that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. This recipe is easy to follow and produces a delicious loaf of bread that everyone will love.
