This sweet Pumpkin Molasses Tea Bread with cream cheese frosting is equally good at breakfast, lunch, or dinner. We used apple juice to sweeten the bread, but this recipe is just as tasty made with orange juice or cranberry juice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pumpkin: Use fresh, ripe pumpkin for the best flavor. Look for pumpkins that are deep orange in color and feel heavy for their size.
  • Prepare the pumpkin puree ahead of time: You can make pumpkin puree up to 3 days in advance. Simply roast the pumpkin, scoop out the flesh, and puree it in a food processor or blender.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a loaf pan that is properly greased and floured: This will help the bread to rise evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven: This will help the bread to rise evenly and prevent it from sinking in the middle.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving: This will help the bread to hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin tea bread is a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dessert. It is also a great way to use up leftover pumpkin puree. With so many different recipes to choose from, you are sure to find one that you love. So next time you are looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give pumpkin tea bread a try.
