Pumpkin Bread is a Fall favorite that is full of real pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg and brown sugar. It's not Fall without it! Before you say that you aren't a fan of anything made with pumpkin, let me ask you this, did they use pumpkin pie filling OR pumpkin puree? That my friends is THE KEY! Once you use actual pumpkin puree, you will have that ah moment of now I understand! Trust me! It's a true game changer!
I think one of the hardest things about making any type of quick bread is having it turn out dry. If you are aren't careful, they can be overbaked, which makes them dry, and just not that good. And another key tip is as soon as they have cooled, is to wrap them in foil. You need to make sure the moisture stays inside of the bread. If the air can get to the loaf, the moisture will evaporate, which will result in a dry loaf of bread. Which is totally fine for some loaves, just not for a quick bread.

FAQ About the Recipe
How Do You Eat Pumpkin Bread
I personally think that homemade bread should always be eaten right out of the oven. There is nothing in this world like warm bread straight from the oven, however, if you prefer yours served at room temp, you can add Apple butter, Nutella, or cream cheese.
How Do You Keep It Moist?
I think the key to not having the bread dry out is to wrap it in foil as soon as possible after it's taken out of the oven. That way the moisture is kept inside the loaf.
How Do I Grease a Bread Loaf Pan?
Use a pastry brush to very carefully brush baking spray or butter into every single little crevice of the pan (takes way less time than you might think) and then dust flour over the entire pan, tap out extra flour.
