Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F/180c then grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper then set aside.
In a large bowl, mix the eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, sour cream, vanilla extract, and melted cooled down butter and mix until combined.
In a smaller bowl, mix the flour, salt, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, and ginger together. Pour the dry ingredients over the wet mixture and mix just until the flour mixture disappears.
Pour the pumpkin bread batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes or until a wooden skewer inserted in the center comes out clean or with only a few crumbs.
Let the pumpkin bread cool in the loaf pan for 20 minutes before transferring it to a cooling rack to cool fully.

Notes

How to store pumpkin bread?

Once the bread has cooled completely, place it in an airtight container where it will keep for up to 3 days stored at room temperature, or up to 7 days if placed in the fridge.

Once ready to eat, if you stored it in the fridge, bring it back up to room temperature to get the maximum flavor. You can also microwave it for a few seconds to a warm pumpkin bread slice.

Can pumpkin bread be frozen?

Once the bread has finished baking, allow it to cool completely so it is at room temperature, then wrap the loaf tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil. Place in an air-tight container and you can then freeze it for up to 3 months.

When ready to eat, thaw in the fridge and then bring back up to room temperature to enjoy.
