10 Pumpkin Bread Recipes That Taste Like Fall
While there are plenty of telltale signs that signify the beginning of fall—the first leaf dropping, cozy sweaters popping up in every store, the actual calendar—I know it’s that time of year when pumpkin-flavored recipes are everywhere. As soon as companies like Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts start releasing their pumpkin spice products, it’s go-time. And though it might still be too hot in Los Angeles to throw on a chunky sweater, I can certainly get in the fall spirit by trying some pumpkin bread recipes. It’s the unofficial flavor of the season, so we might as well lean in and embrace it, right?
Until I started doing a little research, I had no idea just how many types of pumpkin bread existed in the world. Of course, you have your classic pumpkin bread recipes and some featuring additions like nuts or chocolate chips—but there seem to be endless variations on the theme out there. Everything from double chocolate pumpkin bread (!) to pumpkin bread with orange glaze can easily be baked and land on your table in a matter of hours. Fans of pumpkin spice, now is your time to shine.
