This Easy Pumpkin Bread recipe is so simple! Just mix, pour and bake your way to the perfect loaf every time!
Hi Friends!
I’ve been trying to stay busy to keep my mind off the baby-waiting game and in my world that means a lot of time in the kitchen. I opened a giant can of pumpkin the other day, which lead to me making some experimental granola bars that still need a little tweaking…as well as my first pumpkin bread of the season. I’m a sucker for quick breads – banana, zucchini, pumpkin…you name it, I love it.
Until now, I didn’t really have a go-to pumpkin bread recipe. That may have changed as this one turned out really well. I actually started out planning to make Pumpkin Gingerbread using this recipe. At the last minute, I decided I just wanted plain pumpkin bread so I used that recipe as a guide, threw together this simple recipe and hoped for the best!

Who wants a slice? i want the whole loaf. Geeze.
duh 🙂
Pinning and definitely making! This looks super easy and I do have a can of pumpkin to use!
enjoy, friend!
Awesome! Thanks Lindsay, I didnt have a go to recipe either! This is the perfect distraction while you wait, I am sure you will have a beautiful little one to occupy your time VERY soon!
hope so! 🙂
I’ll take a slice! 🙂 Wish I could have one right now actually.
I know it’s hard in the end, but try to enjoy your last few days being pregnant. It sounds weird, but I really missed feeling the babies inside me after I was pregnant. Of course being able to hold your baby will be incredible, but I definitely missed that feeling. 🙂
Umm…I think that should say after I had the baby. I need more coffee….
good advice! trying to soak it in 🙂
Maybe the pumpkin baking is a sign labor will be starting soon! I was baking a pumpkin cake when I was in early labor with my first born. It was supposed to be Thanksgiving dessert…but he was born on Thanksgiving! We saved the cake and ate it when we returned home. 🙂
YUM! I love pumpkin…how have I not bought a can yet this year?!
get on it girl
I’m intrigued! I have never had pumpkin bread, but I’m sure it not only tastes good but has a moist consistency. Mmm
what?! you must try!
I’d probably take this and turn it into muffins. Just something about muffins….I can never have enough 🙂
agreed. loooove muffins!
This does look really easy! I looooove pumpkin bread. I think I’ll make this this weekend or next week 🙂
woohoo! enjoy!
I’m a sucker for quick breads too. So easy, so delicious!
You weren’t kidding when you said this was easy!! I honestly have never baked a loaf of bread in my life… BUT it is on my Fall Bucket List this year!!
you must try! quickbreads are a great place to start!
Really easy recipe. I love pumpkin! Thanks for sharing.
*Raises arms wildly hoping to catch a slice* Yes please!
Me, me! I want a slice. Know what you mean about having a good go-to recipe for the basics. Can you believe I still don’t have one for banana bread? But now I DO have one for Pumpkin Bread…thanks to your one-bowl recipe. Love. Miss you this weekend! But good reason to miss it!
Pumpkin bread for all! I made a flourless blueberry cashew pumpkin bread last weekend. Blueberries and pumpkin was so delicious!
This looks awesome
This looks so yummy! All I would do to it would be add a few chocolate chips! 😀
It’s definitely that time of year when pumpkin bread needs to be made!
Pumpkin Bread is one of my favorite things to bake! I’ll definitely be trying this recipe soon – yum!

Me, me, me! I want a slice! And then the rest of the loaf so I can eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Hey… it counts as a serving of veggies, right? 😉
Yum! That sounds delicious! A nice pat of butter on that and I’ll be all set 🙂
Looks delicious!
Yum! I want a slice. I have yet to make a load of pumpkin bread this season, but that might need to change this weekend. It looks delicious!
I made pumpkin bread last weekend but it’s already gone, so I’ll have to make another. I like to add pumpkin seeds to mine.
Since I was a bad girl and I didn’t read through all the comments to find this out, I’ll just ask and be a pest anyway. Is it nice and moist? Like a super moist cake bread or is it dry and crumbly?
Yum! I just bought a fresh jar of pumpkin spice and will probably do some baking this weekend!
I tried your quick pumpkin bread recipe tonight – it is great! I added an extra tsp of cinnamon, 1/8 tsp of clove, 1/4 tsp of ginger too! Thank you for creating this and sharing it!!

I just put my loaf in the oven!! Can’t wait to try it 🙂 Good luck with your last days of pregnancy. I hope baby bean makes his appearance soon!! Wishing you a easy labor & a happy healthy baby!

Who wants a SLICE?! You obviously don’t know me or my pumpkin obsession very well. I’ll take the whole loaf, thank you very much. 😀
