LIBBY'S PUMPKIN BREAD is a quintessential autumn treat that brings warmth and comfort with every bite. This classic recipe has been a staple in kitchens for generations, loved for its rich pumpkin flavor, moist texture, and delightful blend of spices. Whether you're craving a cozy breakfast, a midday snack, or a sweet dessert, LIBBY'S PUMPKIN BREAD is sure to satisfy your cravings.
To create this delectable treat, you'll need a few simple ingredients that come together to form a harmonious blend of flavors. Start with all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and a medley of aromatic spices including cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. These ingredients provide the foundation for the bread's irresistible taste.
At the heart of this recipe lies LIBBY'S® 100% Pure Pumpkin. This high-quality pumpkin puree lends a natural sweetness and velvety texture to the bread, ensuring each slice is bursting with authentic pumpkin flavor. Made from real pumpkins, LIBBY'S® Pure Pumpkin is the secret ingredient that sets this recipe apart and makes it truly unforgettable.
Creating LIBBY'S PUMPKIN BREAD at home is easier than you might think. Begin by preheating your oven and preparing a loaf pan with a light coating of grease and flour. In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients before adding in the wet ingredients, including the LIBBY'S® Pure Pumpkin, eggs, oil, and water. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix, then fold in chopped walnuts or pecans for added crunch if desired.
Once the batter is ready, pour it into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Place the pan in the oven and bake until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. As the bread bakes, your kitchen will be filled with the irresistible aroma of pumpkin and spices, making it hard to resist sneaking a taste before it's done!
Once baked to perfection, allow the pumpkin bread to cool slightly before slicing. Serve it warm with a pat of butter or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat. If you have leftovers (which is unlikely!), store them in an airtight container to maintain freshness. LIBBY'S PUMPKIN BREAD can be enjoyed for several days, though it's so delicious it may not last that long!
