How do you make easy pumpkin bread?

First, whisk the all-purpose flour, allspice powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl, then set it aside. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, granulated and brown sugars with a whisk or hand mixer until well combined.

Once whisked well, add them to the dry mixture and fold in gently until they are mixed well.

Add any mix-ins and toppings of your choice, like chopped walnuts, chocolate chips, etc.

Then transfer into a baking pan that has been sprayed with oil and lined with parchment paper.

Slice when completely cooled.

Useful Tips

• Use fresh spices: Freshly ground spices give the pumpkin bread the best flavor and aroma.
• Check your baking soda: Use fresh baking soda for a good rise and soft texture.
• Choose your liquid: Orange juice adds moisture and a hint of citrus. Milk works as a substitute.
• Mix the batter: Use a whisk or handheld mixer to combine the ingredients.
• Avoid overmixing: Gently fold the wet and dry ingredients until just combined.
• Add toppings: Walnuts add a nice crunch, while chocolate chips are an optional treat.
• Cover the top loosely with aluminium foil for the first hour of baking. If the center is still uncooked, bake with the foil open for an additional 10 minutes or until done.
• Let it cool completely before slicing.
