I have made this Bread Machine Pumpkin Pie Spice Loaf three times since I created the recipe. Yup, this bread recipe is that good!! What I love even more is that it is so easily made in the Hamilton Beach HomeBaker™ 2 lb Breadmaker. Just add all the ingredients, close lid and the bread machine does the rest! Check out our video of how easy this is to make!
I have used a bread machine many, many times over the years but my last one died a few years ago. I was so happy to be able to take this Hamilton Beach Breadmaker for a spin! It will be in constant motion in this house. We used to use ours at least once a week for Friday night pizza night! Can’t wait to get that going again. Never mind the amazing loaves of bread that fill your home with aromas of comfort and deliciousness!!
This loaf slices up gorgeously and is lovely and moist. A quick addition of a small amount of butter just finishes it off perfectly. Did you even know you can make a loaf like this in a bread machine? Sure can and it is super simple. You will be making these for your family and friends too. They make a lovely gift and then you can whip up another one for yourself!

I want a warm slice of this bread with creamy butter, this looks delicious.

I need a bread machine now, because I NEED to make this loaf! I can see myself eating it warm with melty butter on it and a big cup of coffee!
Stacie @ Divine Lifestyle says
That sounds amazing! I love to take loaves like this and toast the slices. Then I just cover them in butter! Om nom nom.
Amy Desrosiers says
I had no idea you could make dessert breads in bread makers. This sounds and looks so good. I want a bread machine now.
Felicita Moncada says
OMG I have that same bread machine! I am so excited I can make this!… I have all the ingredients too. Winning! Looks like my family is going to enjoy some Pumpkin Bread!
Cathi Crismon says
Oh how fun! The bread machine makes a long time favorite quick and easy!!
Cat says
Tara, I am not gonna lie. I am glad I haven’t seen this recipe yet. Because if I knew about it sooner I’d be making it all the time and my hips would have you to thank LOL! Looks really tasty!
Stacie says
I love this time of year for everything pumpkin. Your loaf looks so delicious. I need a bread maker.

I have never made my on bread before – but it looks like it would be doable with an awesome machine like that!
Claudia Krusch says
This looks so delicious. I am always looking for new recipes to try. I will have to get out the bread machine and make some this weekend. I am sure it will be a big hit.

Sinisa says
I love this . Makes me want to get a bread machine.
Dawn Lopez says
I love using my bread machine. In my opinion it’s one of the best kitchen hacks ever created! I’ve never made a flavored bread in mine before though. This recipe is something I have to try out for sure. I need a slice of this goodness for breakfast.
Sarah says
I love using my bread machine! I’ve never tried making a pumpkin spiced bread in it, good idea! I’ll be making this bread recipe very soon.
Nancy at Whispered Inspirations says
OH MY this pumpkin spice loaf sounds delicious. I am going to have to try it. I am betting it would be perfect with a cup of tea!
Elizabeth L says
Ack! I am going to have to try this like yesterday! Perfect fall bread. YUMMO!
Rena Wechter says
I used the original Betty Crocker recipe and the pumpkin bread was good but undercooked at the bottom. What would you suggest?
Tara Noland says
I would try a darker crust setting, what did you have yours on?
Rena Wechter says
Medium. I’ll try dark. Thank you
Tara Noland says
I hope that works for you. If you have a different machine try reading the instructions they may help you too!
Rena Wechter says
Still came out not fully cooked. I am going’s to increase the timbre. Are your eggs put in a time room temperature?
Tara Noland says
Are you using a Hamilton Beach bread machine? Not sure what increasing the timbre means? No, my eggs were not at room temperature. So sorry this is not working for you. I made it three times with no issues.
Rena Wechter says
Ok. My BIG MISTAKE!!!! I wrote I was going to increase the time. It’s a Hamilton Beach. I don’t know how to increase the time. So I couldn’t increase the time.
P
As I was making it today, I realized I was putting in a whole can of pumpkin when it should be one cup. BIG ERROR!! I think it will work now. I still have more pumpkin in the mixture because I couldn’t get it all out. But it should come out much better. I will let you know!
Tara Noland says
Okay, like I said I have made it many times with great success, I am glad you figured out what was going wrong.
Rena Wechter says
My bread Machine had a bad thermostat. Hamilton Beach sent me a new machine and I made the bread and it came out perfect. Thank you
Tara Noland says
I am so glad you got the problem solved and you are finally enjoying your bread!! Happy Holidays!!!
Rena Wechter says
Thanks for your advise!
heron says
thank you very much for the recipe and keep up the good work.
Tara Noland says
Thank you and so glad you enjoyed!
Jill says
Do you fish out the paddles before it starts baking? I do that with yeast breads so I don’t have those huge cavities from the paddles.
Tara Noland says
I don’t, doesn’t really seem to bother me I guess.
Danielle says
Do you have to add yeast to this recipe?
Tara Noland says
No yeast is needed as this is more of a cake loaf and the baking powder is the leavening agent in this recipe.
J. Burke says
What loaf size does this make? I may have overlooked it in the post, but I can’t find what setting to choose.
Tara Noland says
I believe it is a 1 1/2 lb. loaf as I never do a 2 lb.
Emily says
Would it make a difference to use bread flour instead of all-purpose?
Tara Noland says
You can substitute bread flour for all-purpose. The difference between the two is that bread flour has more protein. Your results should still be good though.
Melody says
How long do you cook this
Tara Noland says
It depends on your bread machine and the exact settings you choose.
Valerie says
Tried this with only one change to recipe … used pecans since we did t have walnuts… it was a WINNER! Top a warm slice with some butter and viola, delish! This recipe is a keeper.
Tara Noland says
Awesome, so glad you liked it.
Leanne says
Can we use olive oil or shortening instead of the canola oil?
Tara Noland says
I haven’t tried those, the closest would be vegetable oil.
Angie says
Just made this. Delicious!!! Thank you for sharing!
Tara Noland says
So glad you liked it!!
June Misaki says
My bread had clumps of flour, unmixed and nasty all throughout the loaf. What could be wrong?
Tara Noland says
Did you have it on quick bread? Some machines don’t mix well as others do, you made need to give it a bit of encouragement and get in there with a rubber spatula.
Lesley says
Loved this! I used half white flour and half spelt flour and it was perfect! I wasn’t totally sure about the setting on my bread machine (it’s a hand-me-down and I’ve rarely used it), but I took a guess and used the “batter bread” setting, and it worked like a charm. The toasty walnuts really added to the flavour. Will definitely make again!
Tara Noland says
So glad you enjoyed the recipe. We love this for a fall treat!!
Ginger says
Question: I have to eat gluten free. Can I use gluten free flour in place of all purpose flour?
Tara Noland says
This is not my area of expertise but I have a friend that does a lot of baking gluten-free. She says, “I don’t see why not but use a high-quality gluten-free flour blend and include xanthan gum if it’s not already in the flour blend. Plain old rice flour won’t work at all.”
Laura O’Donnell says
Tara, thank you for this recipe! I am celiac and used a “1 to 1” gluten free flour and it’s looking perfect. I also used a rubber spatula after the initial three minutes to scrape the sides. Instead of nuts I used 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips. The loaf is almost finished and smells divine! I can’t wait for it to finish.
Tara Noland says
I hope it turns out perfectly for you, enjoy!!
Melissa says
I was so excited to make this but my results were a huge fail. The center was completely raw. I tasted a section that was done, and there was very minimal pumpkin flavor. Hope others have better success. I will stick to non- breadmachine pumpkin bread recipes.
Tara Noland says
I am so sorry to hear that Melissa, maybe your bread machine is different and giving you poor results. I have made this many times and it has come out great.
Viv says
I made my bread today as well and I had the same results. 🙁
Viv says
same results. 🙁
Lauren says
I have an older bread machine, the pan inside is tall, where I noticed most bread machines now are longer length wise. would this recipe still work with mine? I have left over pumpkin so i would love to try this.
Tara Noland says
Hi Lauren, I can’t guarantee anything but I would say it is worth a try!!
Viv says
I have the same bread machine but for some reason when I made my bread today, it did not bake all the way.
Tara Noland says
Please make sure you are using the right amount for the ingredients. I have had people do this before and therefore go subpar results.
Tiffany says
I want to make this recipe but my bread machine doesn’t have a quick bread setting. Any recommendations on what setting to put it on?
Tara Noland says
If you have a manual to your machine or you can google that with your specific brand I would recommend that.
