Sourdough Pumpkin Spice Quick Bread

“This is a delicious sourdough version of Mom's Pumpkin Bread with a hint of pumpkin spice seasoning!”


I would love more FREE recipes and tips straight to my IN BOX!

I have always loved pumpkin! And to add sourdough to it makes it that much more delicious. I created this recipe from an olde, but goody of Mom's. I added sourdough discard and some extra pumpkin spice, instead of just cinnamon, and it turned out great!

Preparation Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350° F. Prepare a large loaf pan by rubbing with oil.

2. In a medium bowl, mix sugar and oil with a wire whisk. Add eggs, pumpkin puree, sourdough discard and vanilla.

3. In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients.

4. Fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients a bit at a time until just combined. Do not over-mix.

5. Pour batter into the loaf pan. With a sharp knife, score a line down the center.

6. Place the loaf in your preheated oven. Bake for 50-60 minutes. (Or use two small loaf pans and bake 35-40 minutes.) Do not open the oven during the bake.

7. Check to see if the loaf is done by seeing if a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If not, bake for 5 more minutes.

8. Once done, remove loaf, still in the pan, to a wire rack. Cool 10 minutes. Then remove the loaf from the pan and cool completely. Enjoy with butter or maple butter!

NOTE
If using two smaller loaf pans bake for 35-40 minutes.
