Directions

1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should I store leftover Snickerdoodle Pumpkin Bread to keep it fresh?

This Snickerdoodle Pumpkin Bread is best stored tightly wrapped in plastic wrap or aluminum foil at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze the cooled loaf, wrapped tightly, for up to three months. Thaw overnight on the counter before serving for the best texture.

Can I substitute the vegetable oil in this recipe with applesauce or butter?

While this recipe relies on the 1/2 cup of vegetable oil for moisture, you can substitute it with an equal amount of melted, unsalted butter for a richer flavor. Applesauce is not recommended as a direct 1:1 substitute because it will significantly alter the texture and rise of the bread.

What is the best way to ensure my Snickerdoodle Pumpkin Bread isn't dry after baking for 1 hour and 10 minutes?

To prevent dryness, ensure you don't overmix the batter once the flour is added. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached, not completely clean. Since the cook time is long at 350°F (175°C), check it promptly at the 60-minute mark.
