Serving Suggestions:
This spiced pumpkin bread is best served warm, fresh out of the oven, with a light spread of butter or cream cheese for a creamy contrast. It's perfect for breakfast or an afternoon snack, paired with a cup of coffee, tea, or hot cocoa. For a sweeter twist, drizzle with honey or top with a sprinkle of powdered sugar. If you want a heartier option, add a handful of dried cranberries or enjoy it alongside some fresh fruit.
Helpful Tips:
For the perfect texture, make sure not to overmix the batter once the wet and dry ingredients are combined—this will keep the pumpkin bread light and fluffy.
You can substitute pecans with walnuts or even chocolate chips for a decadent variation.
To keep the bread moist, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or freeze for longer storage.
If you prefer a richer flavor, replace the vegetable oil with melted butter.
Always ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
