Notes
Make sure to use 100% canned pumpkin puree.
Use only 1 cup of pumpkin puree, not a full can.
If you don't have pumpkin pie spice, use 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, & ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
You don’t want to mix a quick bread too much, you want to mix it just long enough to get the lumps out.
Store leftovers in an airtight container. This loaf freezes well. Thaw in the fridge overnight.
I baked mine in a 8x4 inch loaf pan, or you can use a 9x5 inch loaf pan . Baking times will vary between ovens - but it'll bake for about 50-60 minutes in an 8x4 inch pan, or about 45-55 minutes in a large loaf pan. When it's done, it should feel firm to the touch at the top and an inserted toothpick should come out clean.
You can also make three mini pumpkin loaves by using 5.75x3" mini pans. Baking time for mini loaf pans is approximately 30-35 minutes
