Pumpkin was just made for quick breads. The texture and flavor both lend themselves well to this simple fall treat that’s packed with spices, brown sugar and pecans.
This bread is a perfect snack or even a great breakfast option. For a special treat, heat it up just a bit and spread on a little extra butter or a bit of cream cheese.

This pumpkin bread turned out great. Took some to work to share with my co-workers and they loved it. Served it with cream cheese as suggested. Substituted walnuts for pecans.

I love! pumpkin Bread. I’ll definitely try this! Thanks for posting it.
How much canned pumpkin do I use? I want to substitute
Carlotta – you can use 1 cup of canned pumpkin
Hi, I had some leftover canned pumpkin and decided to make 2 small loaves of your pumpkin bread. It’s really good! The recipe worked out perfectly and I think the pecans are a really nice addition. I thought, with all the other food around I could easily freeze my mini loaves but I don’t think that’s going to be necessary. I’ll bet they’re gonna be all gobbled up by tomorrow afternoon! Thanks for the inspiration and Happy Thanksgiving!
