This recipe is foolproof. Just follow these simple steps belwo, and your pumpkin bread machine recipe will turn out soft, moist, and packed with flavor.

Step 1: Add the Ingredients
Place pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and butter into the bread machine first. Then add granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt on top.
Note: Don’t use pumpkin pie filling, it won’t work. It has added sugar and spices that can throw off the recipe.

How to Store This Pumpkin Bread
- Keep it fresh by storing your moist pumpkin bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
