This Pumpkin Nut Bread is a classic pumpkin bread recipe filled with pecans and spices. Perfect for pumpkin bread lovers!

This cookbook got a good workout this month. Not only were there 5 Fridays – so 5 recipes from this book, I decided to whip up one more from some ingredients I had on hand last night. It’s kind of funny, too, that I would go gung-ho on this book, because the recipes have been a bit hit or miss for me.

Even though every recipe hasn’t been a home run, it is a book that is full of recipes that I really want to try. And usually when I have a few recipes out of a book that don’t turn out very well, it makes me not want to use the book anymore, but this one still has me coming back for more. (In fact, I have another meal on the menu for this week from this book!) So stay tuned for more from this book, and hopefully the recipes will just get better!

This Pumpkin Nut Bread is the extra recipe I made from this book. I’m a believer that pumpkin can be used year-round, not just at Thanksgiving. (The stack of cans of pumpkin in my pantry probably influenced my decision as well!) I’ve made pumpkin bread many times, so really, I wasn’t expecting a whole lot from this, but it was surprisingly delicious and moist. A word of caution, though – the recipe says to bake it for up to an hour and 15 minutes – mine was plenty done at 1 hour.

Scale

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup pumpkin puree

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, melted
3/4 cup chopped pecans, lightly toasted

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F. Lightly grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
Sift the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Make a well in the middle and add the pumpkin, eggs, oi and melted butter. Stir until just combined. Fold in the nuts.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until the bread is golden on top and a sharp knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Transfer the pan to a rack and turn the loaf out the pan once it is cool.
