How to make this Easy Pumpkin Bread Recipe
This pumpkin bread recipe is made in just one bowl. Why wash more dishes if you don’t need to?! Start by adding the eggs to a mixing bowl, beating them slightly, and then add your dry ingredients. Stir them lightly.
Then, add your wet ingredients, and beat with a hand mixer until the batter is smooth and well combined. Easy peasy, quick and easy!
Pour the pumpkin bread batter into a greased loaf pan, and smooth the top with a knife or spatula until it’s nice and even. This recipe for pumpkin bread makes enough batter to fill one 1.5 – quart loaf pan. If you have smaller pans, you can divide the batter.
When the pumpkin bread is done, you can eat it in it’s pure, natural state. Or, you can whip up a super easy cinnamon glaze to pour over the top. This is optional, but very highly recommended — which really means don’t skip it!
