It's finally September, and that can mean only one thing...IT'S PUMPKIN SEASON!  Yes, it seems like everywhere you look you see pumpkin spice everything.  When I think of pumpkin, I think of eating slices of warm pumpkin bread at my grandma's table while she piddled about in the kitchen.  Just the thought of those memories give me all the feels so I thought I would share my Classic Pumpkin Bread Recipe with you.  

I'm no baker so you know this recipe is easy and it makes not one, but TWO loaves!  You're gonna love it so...

Let's Get Started!


For this Classic Pumpkin Bread Recipe you are going to need a few simple ingredients:

• 3 cups Sugar
• 1 cup Oil
• 4 Eggs
• 3 1/3 cups All-Purpose Flour
• 2 tsp Baking Soda
• 1 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1 Tbsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
• 2/3 cup Water
• 1 15 oz can of Pumpkin

To begin you will need to preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Then, in a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking soda, and pumpkin pie spice.

Mix it all together and sit to the side.

In a separate bowl combine the sugar and oil.

Using a mixer, beat together the sugar and oil until it looks like wet sand.

Now add the eggs and beat those into the sugar and oil mixture.

Once the eggs have been beaten into the oil and sugar, you can started adding your flour mixture to the batter a few spoonfuls at a time.


When you feel the batter getting too heavy, add some of the water.


Complete this process until you have combined all of the flour and water into your batter.

Now it is time for the magic, the pumpkin.

Add the can of pumpkin to the batter and mix it in until smooth.

**MAKE SURE YOU ARE USING 100% PURE PUMPKIN AND NOT PUMPKIN PIE MIX**

For this Classic Pumpkin Bread Recipe you are going to need two bread pans.

Make sure they are WELL GREASED and divide the batter between them equally.
I find the best way to do this is with a 1 cup measuring cup.

Place them in the preheated oven and bake for 55-65 minutes.

I'll warn you now, your house is going to smell AMAZING!

You will know that they are ready when you can stick a toothpick in them and it comes out clean.

Mine took the entire 65 minutes.

Sit the loaf pans on a cooling rack and let the pumpkin bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes remove the Classic Pumpkin Bread Recipe from the loaf pans and place on a cooling rack until totally cool.

Dust with a little icing sugar and you are ready to eat!

Have you ever seen a more beautiful loaf of Pumpkin Bread in your life?

How about now?

I got this really cute Fall Loaf Pan from Amazon last year and I love the way it elevates the look of this simple  pumpkin bread loaf.  It's perfect to serve at any and all of those holiday get togethers coming up!  It wasn't that expensive, so I linked it for you incase you are interested.

The warm spiciness of this Classic Pumpkin Bread Recipe gives me all the autumn feels and I know it will do the same for you and your family as well. The pumpkin bread is moist and flavorful, everything you want this sweet treat to be! It's a super easy and fool-proof recipe that yields two loaves, one for now and one for later.  Just wrap one in cling wrap and place in the freezer until you are ready for it.  You won't find a better fall treat so get in the kitchen and give it a try TONIGHT!

And as always...
