How to Make This Bread Maker Pumpkin Bread
If you don't have a bread machine, you can make this pumpkin bread in the oven. Simply preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the bread for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Next, Add The Sugar And Brown Sugar
- Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract to the pan.
The Dry Ingredients Go In Last
- Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices last. It's really important that ingredients go into the bread maker pan in this order: liquid and wet, sugars and flavoring, then the dry ingredients last.
Use The Quick Bread Program
- Select the quick bread cycle and press start. If your machine doesn't have a quick bread setting, use the fast basic bread program.
- When the bread machine cycle is complete, remove the loaf from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
