Tips and Variations for the Perfect Bread:

Pumpkin: Make sure you buy canned pumpkin puree and don’t confuse it with canned pumpkin pie filling. They are two very different things. The pie filling will have sugar and spices already added, you just want plain pumpkin so make sure you double check your can. Add-ins: Make variations to this recipe by adding a half of cup of chopped pecans, or walnuts. Chocolate chips, cranberries or raisins. Muffins: You can easily turn these into muffins, just pour into greased muffin tin filling each about ¾ full. Bake for 20 minutes or till an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Should make roughly 24 muffins. Double: This is simple to double and make two loaves. One to eat right away and one to save for later.

Storing Moist Pumpkin Bread:

Everyone will love this so much, there may not be leftovers but if there are, it’s easy to store:

Storage: Pumpkin bread does not need to be refrigerated. Make sure it’s cooled completely and store tightly wrapped in a cool dry place for up to 4 days. If it lasts longer than that, put in the fridge for up to 7 days. Freeze: This freezes beautifully. Once the loaf is completely cooled wrap in plastic wrap, at least two layers to prevent freezer burn. It can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw on the counter top overnight.
