FAQs

Make Ahead and Storage:

Can I Make this Bread Ahead of Time?

Yes. Pumpkin Bread will last for a few days covered with plastic wrap at room temperature.

Can I Freeze Pumpkin Bread?

Yes. Pumpkin bread will freeze well. Just wrap it with non-stick foil and place it in a freezer bag. It should keep well in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Is Pumpkin Bread Good for You?

Yes! Pumpkin bread is packed with vitamins like A, B, C, and E. It’s also packed with fiber and antioxidants plus potassium, manganese, and iron.

How do you know if Pumpkin Bread is done?

The edges of the bread should begin to pull away from the edges of your baking pan. A toothpick inserted might have moist bread clinging to it, but it won’t be doughy.

How do you keep Pumpkin Bread Moist?

Cover it tightly with foil or cling wrap, and store for up to 2 days at room temperature

Can I Make this into Pumpkin Muffins?

Yes. Just pour into muffin tins and bake for about 20-25 minutes

What are some good add-ins for Pumpkin Bread?

• dried cranberries
• raisins
• pecans
• walnuts
• chocolate chips

Tips and Tricks:

• this bread will be moist so the usual toothpick check for doneness will be a bit different. When you pull up your toothpick after inserting it into the bread, you’ll see some moist batter, and possibly the buttery streusel topping. You should not see batter, however,
• let the pumpkin bread slightly cool before cutting. The longer you let it set up the better cut you will have
• you can add pecans to the top of this bread for some added crunch
• Serve warm with butter and possible some whipped cream topping or vanilla ice cream
