Origin Chef John’s Pumpkin Bread

Pumpkin bread has been a staple in American baking for centuries, originally inspired by Native American cooking. Over time, it evolved into the sweet, spiced loaf we know today, commonly enjoyed during autumn and holiday seasons.

What I Love About This Recipe

This pumpkin bread is incredibly moist and flavorful, with the perfect balance of sweetness and spice. The cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves bring a warm, cozy aroma that fills the kitchen. It’s easy to make, stores well, and tastes even better the next day. Plus, you can customize it with nuts, chocolate chips, or a streusel topping for added texture.
