Fall is all about comforting food and this oatmeal pumpkin bread is certainly that! Deliciously sweet and perfectly spiced, it’s perfect as a dessert or with a mid afternoon cup of coffee.
How to Make Oatmeal Pumpkin Bread
This pumpkin bread is even better when finished off with a drizzle of Apple Cider Sauce!
How do you know when the oatmeal pumpkin bread is done?
The bread is ready to take out of the oven when it has browned and a very thin knife inserted into the middle of the loaf comes out clean (or almost clean). The internal temperature should register (on an instant-read thermometer) between 200°F-205°F in the middle of the loaf. If the top of the bread is darkening too quickly after 30 minutes, tent with foil for the remaining 30 minutes of baking. Don’t cover the bread tightly, just tent the foil over the top.
How long is pumpkin bread good for?
Let the oatmeal pumpkin bread cool to room temperature, and then place it in an airtight container and keep it at room temperature. It will be good for 2 days. You can also freeze the bread; wrap it tightly in foil or plastic wrap and place in a freezer bag.
Oatmeal Pumpkin Bread with a crunchy topping
We simply have to talk about this topping! It’s a simple mix but adds texture and sweetness to this homemade bread recipe. The topping is made with:
dark brown sugar roasted pecans ground cinnamon or pie spice
The brown sugar adds a delicious richness to each bite and the pecans work so well with those fall spices.
Top Tips to Make This Recipe
Be sure to pre-heat your oven and grease your loaf tin. Use pure pumpkin puree for this recipe. Don’t over mix the batter. If the top of the bread starts to brown too quickly, tent it loosely with foil. Let the bread cool slightly before removing it from the loaf tin.
