I’ve been making this recipe for many years now. One of my favorite ways to make it is using a mini loaf pan, so that I can share the yummy pumpkin bread with my family or friends.

Nordic Ware also makes these beautiful loaf pans perfect for autumn. Depending on how you use this recipe, you may need to use varying sizes of loaf pans. For instance, if using a decorative pan, such as the Harvest Bounty Loaf pan, you will want to fill it 2/3 full, and then place the remaining batter in a small or mini pan.

Instructions for Making This Recipe

Grease Pan with Shortening and Flour or Baker's Joy Spray

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray loaf pan(s) with baking spray. If you are using a decorative pan, you may opt to grease and flour the pan or spray it with Baker’s Joy for easy release.

While I’ve long been a fan of Baker’s Joy, as of 10/2024, I can no longer recommend this baking spray nor those of similar style. Apparently, there is some sort of malfunction in the spray nozzle that allows the can to work for a few times and then it stops, no matter what you do to try to fix it. I am not the only one to have this problem, as there are many, many reviews from users for at least 7 months before. Until this problem gets fixed, I recommend making your own version. See these tips from Taste of Home Here.
