Two loaf recipe
This recipe makes two loaves, perfect for sharing! Make a loaf and put it in a gift basket along with whipped butter, coffee, and maybe a nice mixing bowl along with the recipe. Such a fun and unique gift idea for the holidays or Christmas gift for a friend.
The second loaf can also be frozen. Just place in an airtight container or ziplock bag and freeze for up to two months.
Pumpkin Bread Substitutes

Or, you could always leave out the raisins and walnuts entirely and just have a deliciously simple loaf of pumpkin bread.
Pumpkin Walnut Raisin Bread
Nothing screams fall more than an delicious loaf of pumpkin bread. This bread will definitely be your new favorite and it tastes so much better than Starbucks Pumpkin Bread! Read on to see how easy it is to make deliciously moist pumpkin walnut raisin bread.
Firstly, you will need to spray two loaf pans with nonstick cooking spray. You can use either 9″ x 5″ inch loaf pans or the slightly smaller 8 ½″ x 4 ½″ pans. Both are standard sizes, however the smaller pan will have a longer baking time.
Then, whisk together the dry ingredients. This includes the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. If you have a pumpkin pie spice on hand, you could substitute equal amounts of the spice for the cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves in this recipe.
In a separate bowl, use a handheld mixer to beat together the butter and sugar. Then, add in the canned pumpkin puree and eggs.
Next, mix in the dry ingredients to the batter. Once, those are incorporated, add in the raisins and diced walnuts. Here, I like to use the golden raisins. However, whatever raisins you have on hand will work.
Once the batter is combined, divide it equally between the two loaf pans. It’s a good idea to weigh the pans using a kitchen scale if you have one on hand. This will ensure even baking times with the two loaves.
Bake and Enjoy Pumpkin Walnut Raisin Bread!
Lastly, bake the pumpkin bread in a preheated oven for about an hour. You will know the bread is ready when a toothpick inserted in the middle of the loaf comes out clean.
If possible, try to wait for the bread to cool completely before using a serrated knife to cut it. This bread is super moist, so patience is key here!
I love to have pumpkin bread on hand for an easy brunch, breakfast, or just snack during the day. It freezes beautifully if you want to make a batch and keep it on hand for any surprise guests.
This is also a great bread to have on hand for Christmas Morning breakfast. The best part is that you can make it ahead of time and freeze it, so no stress or mess in the the kitchen come Christmas Morning!
