WHAT MAKES PUMPKIN BREAD MOIST

The secret to moist pumpkin bread lies in two ingredients. First is the grated apples. You can use just about any variety of sweet apples. Just make sure to peel them before grating.

The second ingredient is olive oil. It gives the pumpkin bread a rich moistness and depth that mingles perfectly with the honey and pumpkin spices.

    Thank you for creating a recipe that works & is delicious! I used Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 Baking flour (gluten free), doubled the recipe amount to make 1 loaf and 12 muffins(baked for only 30 minutes), and they turned out perfect. Now it feels and smells like fall in my home and my family said, “Amazing!”
