Equipment

bread machine
bread knife
bread storage bags
wire cooling rack

Ingredients

¼ cup oil or butter unsalted butter, olive oil, or other neutral oil
1 cup pumpkin puree
2 large eggs room temperature
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup sugar unrefined coconut sugar, light brown sugar, dark brown sugar or white sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
½ cup crushed walnuts optional

Instructions

Spray the bread pan with olive oil or grease with butter. Add all ingredients to the pan in the order listed (for Cuisinart bread makers). For other brands, check your manual for the right order to add ingredients (see notes).
Secure the bread pan to the bread machine. Plug it in and set to the "quick bread/cake" cycle. Choose the 2 pound loaf option and crust color preference. Press start. *If your machine does not have a quick bread cycle, check your manual for the comparable setting.
The machine will begin mixing. This takes about 5 minutes. While it's mixing, scrape flour on the sides into the batter using a spatula. *When done mixing, you should also remove the paddle. Doing so will make the bread easier to remove when it's done. Cuisinart machines will beep when the mixing stage is done as a reminder to do this. If you forget, the paddle can be removed once the bread has cooled.
When the baking cycle is complete, unplug the bread maker and wait 10 minutes. Then transfer bread to a wire rack to cool for at least 1 hour. Carefully remove the kneading paddle and cut into approximately 12 slices.

Notes

Yield: 2 pound loaf

Storing: Store sliced bread in an airtight container for 3 days at room temperature, in the fridge for up 7 days, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Tip 1: Choose the correct bread machine setting for your brand bread maker. This pumpkin bread is a quick bread and should use the "quick bread" cycle for machines that have it. Some bread makers label this as "quick bread/cake" or just "cake". Check your manual to identify which setting is used to make quick breads.

Tip 2: While it's mixing, scrape the sides of the pan to incorporate any excess flour into the batter.

Tip 3: Don't be tempted to open the lid while it's baking! This can impact whether the bread becomes fully cooked at the end of the cycle. Most bread machines have a window that you can peek through, so use this instead. If you can't see the bread clearly, wait until it's finished.

Tip 4: When it's done, remove the bread pan from the machine and let it rest for 10 minutes. Keep the bread in the pan during these 10 minutes. Then remove it carefully and let completely cool on a wire rack. Use oven mitts when handling the bread pan, as it will be very hot!
