Spiced Pumpkin Bread is so moist and flavorful, it's not just another pumpkin bread recipe....it is THE only pumpkin bread recipe you need! It's spicy, sweet and unmistakably FALL. It's also an easy pumpkin bread recipe you'll make again and again.
By now you've probably seen a gazillion things "pumpkin" flavored. It is, after all, the season of "All-Things-Pumpkin".
Pumpkin is one of those flavors that just screams Fall. You might be familiar with this recipe for Pumpkin Spice Buttermilk Waffles or this very popular recipe for Easy Pumpkin Spice Pecan Fudge. Pumpkin is EVERYWHERE!
This wonderful pumpkin bread recipe is a way to enjoy pumpkin in your own home. Even the novice baker can put this easy pumpkin bread together with great results!
I love quick breads because they are not only easy, but they can take on many rolls. Not quite a bread or a cake, a slice can be a yummy breakfast treat, a nice dessert or a delicious afternoon snack.
Your house will smell AMAZING while this pumpkin loaf is baking!

My favorite thing about this quick bread?
The spices!! Specifically... the addition of fresh ground black pepper!!
Yes, that's right. Fresh ground black pepper adds that extra something.
The addition of black pepper is amazing in this bread and does not overpower it. It just adds that certain "something" extra! It is also dotted with plump and juicy golden raisins, but if you aren't a raisin fan, you can leave them out.
Tips for the Best Spiced Pumpkin Bread
- As always with quick bread recipes, do not over mix the batter. A light mix with a spatula is all that's needed when combining the wet and dry ingredients. This will ensure your pumpkin bread will be tender.
- Check for doneness with a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf. All oven heat differently, and your oven may take a few more or less minutes of baking to get a perfectly baked loaf.
- It's best to allow your pumpkin bread to cool completely before slicing. I know it can be hard, but since this is such a moist pumpkin bread, allowing it to cool completely will give you the best slices.
Can you freeze Spiced Pumpkin Bread?
Yes. Like any quick bread, you can freeze it for up to 3 months. Defrost before enjoying it.
I sent this bread with my husband to work, and he said they just inhaled it.
I enjoyed my slice with a smear of pumpkin butter!! Why not?
If you have only one thing pumpkin flavored this season, make it this delicious pumpkin bread! You will be glad you did!
How will you enjoy your slice? Smeared with pumpkin butter or just plain?
