Frequently asked questions (FAQ's)
Yes, you'll want to refrigerate it to extend the shelf life. If you're going to gobble it down that first day, no problem! It will last on the counter just a couple of days.
Test it with a toothpick - insert it into the center of the loaf, if it comes out clean, it's done!
Walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts or pecans are a great addition. You can sprinkle the top with toasted pumpkin seeds before baking, too - yum!
Slather sour cream frosting over the top of the loaf after it cools - THAT will take it to the next level!
The oil in this recipe really helps keep this loaf moist. After it's baked, just be sure to wrap it well. That will keep it from drying out.
Deb's tips for the great pumpkin bread
Before baking, sprinkle a handful of mini chocolate chips and a light dusting of sugar over the top of the batter. It gives the loaf a beautiful, slightly crisp, bakery-style crust and makes every slice look irresistible - no glaze required!
