This week is all about pumpkin recipes. So we are kicking off the week with pumpkin bread. This bread is loaded with flavor and is super moist. I know sometimes quick breads can be dry, but this one is not. This is the best pumpkin bread recipe out there. Well my niece says so. I usually send her a loaf or two every pumpkin season.

You don’t need a mixer, just a bowl whisk and spatula. I don’t about you but sometimes it is nice not to use a mixer. When you whisk the oil, sugar and brown sugar it will be a little thick, it more just about incorporating them together. Don’t worry when you add the vanilla, eggs and pumpkin and whisk it together it thins out. Add half the flour mixture, milk, remainder of flour mixture. Make sure not to over mix it. Fold in the chocolate chips.

So I decided to line the bread pan for a change. I will tell you by doing this, it made the bread so much easier to get out of the pan. You don’t have to line the pan, but I will lining bread pans going forward.

Now that Fall is officially here, it is time to get in your kitchen to bake and cook. I am telling you some of my greatest memories have been in the kitchen. From baking with my mom, cooking with Jimmy or hanging out with family in the kitchen, they all are special memories to me.

Tips & Recommendations

You can add nuts if you want. You also don’t have to add the chocolate chips, but I think it makes the cake better. Use a toothpick or knife to check for doneness. Bread is done when a few crumbs are left. It will continue to bake while cooling in the pan. Wrap bread in plastic wrap tightly, it will stay fresh for up to 4 days. You can freeze it up to 3 months. Wrapped in plastic wrap and place in freezer bag.
