Taste and Texture of This Pumpkin Bread

slices of bread

This moist pumpkin bread has the perfect balance of sweetness and spice. The cinnamon gives it a warm, cozy flavor, and the texture is soft and cake-like, but still feels like real bread. It’s delicious on its own, but I love spreading a little butter or cream cheese on a warm slice!

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.
  • Extend its shelf life by refrigerating it for up to a week. Before eating, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to bring back its soft texture.
  • Freeze for long-term storage by wrapping the bread in plastic wrap or foil and placing it in a freezer-safe bag. To prevent slices from sticking, use parchment paper between them, making it easy to grab one at a time.

Best Ways to Enjoy Easy Pumpkin Bread
