Notes
Tips on Storing, Freezing, and Thawing
Wrap the pumpkin loaves in plastic wrap or put into an airtight container , and keep on your counter for up to 5 days. And pumpkin bread freezes really well! To freeze, wrap individual slices in aluminum foil and then put into a freezer-safe zip top bag and keep frozen for up to 3 months. To thaw, leave on the counter overnight!Tips for the Best Results
If your pumpkin bread seems soggy or sank in the middle, it's because you had too much liquid compare to your dry ingredients. If you add a watery ingredient (like applesauce, bananas, zucchini, etc) you need to remove some other watery ingredients (like some of the pumpkin puree). Remember that for any quick bread recipe!Nutrition
