Fall 2025 is here, and it is time to make the most out of the season with cozy sweaters,

the changing leaves and going to the pumpkin patch. This pumpkin bread recipe is the ultimate fall comfort bake - soft, spiced and perfectly moist. In a single loaf, it captures all of our autumn favourites.

This pumpkin bread fills your kitchen with the comforting aroma of cloves, nutmeg, and

cinnamon, whether you're baking it on a calm Sunday morning or sharing a slice with friends.

Making it is simple, and it tastes great on its own or with a hot cup of chai or coffee.
