When making this recipe, I like to use my stand mixer; however, you can use a hand mixer or mix by hand. You only need one bowl and a loaf pan.

How to Make Pumpkin Bread

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees (F) and grease, or use one of these liners, a 9 x 5 loaf pan, or five mini loaf pans.

In a medium bowl, mix the wet ingredients: pumpkin, sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and milk.

Then slowly add in the dry ingredients and stir just until combined.

Pour the pumpkin bread batter into your prepared pan (s).

Bread batter in a loaf pan

Bake bread for 60 minutes in a preheated 350-degree oven for a large loaf pan.  Test doneness when a toothpick inserted in the center and comes out clean.

Remove the bread from the oven and place on a cooling rack for 15 minutes. Then turn out and allow to cool to room temperature before storing.
