Can I use pumpkin pie filling instead of pumpkin puree?

While it may be tempting to substitute pumpkin pie filling for the puree, it's important to note that pumpkin pie filling contains added spices and sugar. For the best results in this Libby’s Pumpkin Bread recipe, it's recommended to use 100% pumpkin puree, such as Libby’s canned pumpkin, to control the flavor balance.

How do I prevent my pumpkin bread from becoming dry?

Dry pumpkin bread is often caused by overmixing or using too much flour. Be sure to measure your flour accurately by leveling it off, and mix the batter only until combined. Also, avoid overbaking—check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the bread; if it comes out clean, it's ready to come out of the oven.

Can I freeze Libby’s Pumpkin Bread?

Yes, Libby’s Pumpkin Bread freezes wonderfully! After the bread has fully cooled, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil or store it in an airtight freezer-safe container. You can keep it in the freezer for up to 3 months, making it easy to enjoy this delicious treat long after pumpkin season ends.

Whisk together the eggs, oil, and water in a separate bowl.

Fold in the pumpkin puree until smooth.
Grease 4 mini loaf pans or 1 large loaf pan and pour the batter evenly into each pan.
Bake in the oven for 30 minutes for mini loaves, or 55 minutes for a large loaf. Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean.

For a sweeter bread, you can increase the sugar by ½ cup.
Make sure to measure your flour accurately to avoid dry bread.
Feel free to add chocolate chips, nuts, or raisins for a fun twist.
If the bread is too moist in the center, cover with foil and bake a few extra minutes.
Store the bread at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
