Pumpkin bread is a type of moist quick bread made with pumpkin. [1] The pumpkin can be cooked and softened before being used or simply baked with the bread; using canned pumpkin renders it a simpler dish to prepare. Additional ingredients include nuts (such as walnuts) [2] and raisins. [3]
Pumpkin bread is usually baked in a rectangular loaf pan and is often made in late fall when fresh pumpkins are available. It can be made into muffins by using a cupcake pan. It can also be made from canned pumpkin, resulting in a stronger pumpkin taste. [1]
