Pumpkin Bread Recipe

By kelsa94

Nothing says fall quite like a slice of warm pumpkin bread, straight out of the oven. Our egg-free recipe amps up the flavor with canned pumpkin pie filling (instead of regular ol’ canned pumpkin), molasses, and ground cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger. The resulting loaf is wonderfully dense, but bakes through entirely in the center and slices easily once it cools just a bit. Quick breads like this one tend to freeze well, wrapped tightly in plastic or placed in a sealed container, but we doubt you’ll have many slices leftover. Serve with pumpkin coffee or apple cider to experience maximum autumn.

Ingredients

• 1 cup pumpkin pie filling (not pure pumpkin)
• 1/2 cup canola oil, plus more for the pan
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup molasses
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
