Description

A foolproof, kid-friendly pumpkin bread recipe that requires only one bowl and simple tools. Perfect for baking with children to create memories while enjoying a moist, spiced loaf.

Ingredients

Scale

15 oz (1 can) pure pumpkin puree
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray and dust with flour, tapping out excess.
In a large mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until mostly smooth.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice until no streaks of flour remain.
Pour dry ingredients into wet ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix. Fold in optional mix-ins like chocolate chips or walnuts.
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Ensure you use 100% pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. If the batter is too runny, squeeze excess moisture from the pumpkin puree. For a cleaner process, let kids crack eggs into a separate bowl first. Cover the top with foil if it browns too quickly.
