If you’re looking for the perfect cozy fall pumpkin bread recipe, this is the one your kitchen has been waiting for. My mom made this every autumn warm, soft, and unbelievably moist, and now I’m baking it for my own kids. She actually got the recipe from a college professor who would bring it out on test days… and trust me, one bite feels like a warm hug when you need it most.
This easy pumpkin bread is packed with fall spices and that pumpkin flavor we all love. It’s the kind of recipe you bookmark and come back to every single year.
