Bring out fall flavors with this sweet, spiced pumpkin bread
This pumpkin bread is tough to beat.
While you might have discovered banana bread in the throes of the pandemic, pumpkin bread takes the ease of quick bread and elevates it alongside warm spices that help its flavor stand out. The two recipes are very similar, but you’ll find pumpkin bread provides you more space to experiment with spices. After trying this recipe, you could sub out one of the spices for cardamom, substitute maple syrup for sugar or even experiment with adding nuts in the batter.
Quick breads like this will inspire home cooks or even children to try several flavors. Children learn good math skills in the kitchen, especially about fractions, weights and measures. Cooking also teaches life skills. They learn to survive in a kitchen when they go off to college or move into the first apartment.
A loaf of spicy bread can be a welcomed gift for a senior neighbor. Teachers and bosses who are time-starved enjoy a homemade loaf or two.
This pumpkin bread is easy and comes together with little work — mix your wet ingredients, than slowly add your dry ingredients, spread it into a loaf pan, and slide it into the oven for an hour or so at 350 degrees.
