Tips and Tricks For Deliciously Moist Pumpkin Bread:

 

• It’s important to use high quality pumpkin. There can be a big difference between different pumpkin puree brands, so make sure you’re using one that’s 100% pumpkin and is on the firmer side. We love Libby’s!
• If you like raisins, you may want to add then instead of chocolate chips and add a 1/2 cup of pecans too!
• Make sure that you don’t over mix the batter: When you mix batter longer than it needs to be mixed, your bread becomes tougher and chewier. We want a moist and tender pumpkin bread–not a doughy, tough one. Mix the batter until it’s fully combined, but don’t over do it!
• Don’t over bake your bread. Baking your bread for too long will dry it out. We recommend taking it out of the oven when the center is still a bit undercooked as it will continue to cook as it cools.

 

 

Can I Freeze This Deliciously Moist Pumpkin Bread?

 

• This pumpkin bread is a wonderful bread to have on hand in the freezer.
• I like to let it cool completely, then wrap the loaves well in plastic wrap making it as airtight as possible. Wrap in foil over the plastic wrap or place the plastic wrapped loaf in a freezer-safe Ziploc bag.
