What goes into Bread Machine Pumpkin Pie Spice Loaf?
See all the wonderful ingredients that go into this pumpkin bread! I also love the aroma of a pumpkin-spiced loaf baking; smells like fall to me!
Recipe Ingredients
Canned pumpkin puree – Make sure it is the puree and not pumpkin pie filling.
Canola oil – This keeps the loaf nice and moist.
Eggs – This helps bind and makes the loaf rise.
Vanilla – Adds the perfect flavor, combining with the pumpkin puree.
Brown sugar and White sugar – The combination of the sugars adds more than sweetness, but flavor too.
All-purpose flour, baking powder, salt – The usual suspects for baking.
Pumpkin pie spice – Can’t be a great pumpkin loaf without this combination of spices.
Walnuts – These are essential for me, but can be optional.
How do you Make Pumpkin Bread
Spray pan, with kneading blade in place, lightly with cooking spray.
Add the ingredients in order that is in the recipe ingredients. Basically, wet ingredients (pumpkin, oil, vanilla, eggs) and then followed by dry ingredients (sugars, flour, spices, nuts).
Select Quick Bread cycle and the crust setting. I used a medium crust setting when making this bread.
After 3 min. of blending, scrape down sides with a spatula. Close lid and let the machine do the rest.
Cool the loaf for 10 min. in the pan and then remove to cool on a rack.

Bev Grossen says
Could you make this on the dough cycle and then bake it in the oven?
Tara Noland says
The batter doesn’t require kneading which would be my hesitation but you can make it outside the bread machine by hand or using a mixer.
