Frequently asked questions
Once the bread is cooled off, you can cut them into slices and store in an air-tight container. This will last about 3-5 days if left at room temperature on your countertop. If you store the container containing the bread in the fridge it will last 7-10 days. You can also freeze it and remove the night before to thaw out in the fridge.
The bread can be frozen for up to 3 months. After it is completely cooled, wrap it securely in aluminum foil, freezer wrap or place in a freezer bag. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
The best way to check if your pumpkin bread or any other bread is done is to insert a toothpick right in the middle of the pumpkin bread. If the toothpick comes out clean, then the bread is done and ready to remove from the oven. Only insert the toothpick right in the middle because thats the area that cooks through at the very end or else you will end up with a soggy middle piece.

I love this pumpkin bread! I’ve made it a couple times. It’s full of flavor and super moist. I’m thinking of using the same outline of ingredients but use bananas instead of pumpkin. I’ll leave the nutmeg and cloves out. Do you think that would work?
Yes! Bananas make a great substitute for pumpkin
