For me, Fall baking is never complete without several loaves of pumpkin bread. Over the years, I’ve tried many recipes, but this one remains my favorite. Last year, I picked up this Nordic Ware Pumpkin Loaf Pan*
I had been wanting for quite a while. Lucky for me, I got it while it was on sale.
This loaf pan makes cakes, breads, look so much more festive with the pumpkin vines design. I plan on using it a few more times during this pumpkin baking season, but here is the debut.
This quick bread is very moist and easy to put together. It has the perfect ratio of fall spices for my personal preference. More emphasis on the cinnamon and nutmeg and just a touch of ground ginger and ground cloves to round out the flavors.

Thanks for linking to me. Your bread came out so pretty
OMG…I was just telling my colleagues at work what a delicious pumpkin bread your recipe yield. I actually printed your recipe out and gave each of my colleagues a copy. Even my little girls who, are quite picky, loved it so much they took a slice each to school for snack time. I did add three boxes of raisins to the batter to give it more oomph. But, even w/o the raisins, this bread was the best I’ve had in a while. Very moist and so easy to put together. I was concerned that two loaves would be too much, now I’m concerned I should’ve made four loaves!! Delicious!! Jackie
I’m so happy it turned out well! I love this recipe. It’s hard for me to eat other pumpkin bread because I always compare it to this version.
I found your pumpkin bread via tastespotting and that lead me to your wonderful food blog. I’m going to make your recipe today. I’ll let you know how it turns out! Thanks for sharing.
Jackie
Please let me know how it turns out! I hope you like it as much as I do.
Oh!!!
I love this loaf pan!! Actually, I love almost all Nordic Ware molds. I think that almost anything has to look good in them, regardless of flavour. Although I am also sure that your bread is great!
I have a huge Nordic Ware collection too. It is good they don’t come out with a new pan often. it’s an expensive addiction.
This bread looks so yummy! I’m going to make it — I definitely need my dose of pumpkin bread STAT!
I try to have a lot of pumpkin bread from October through Thanksgiving.
