How to make the Best Pumpkin Bread
Ingredients
1 1/4 cup of flour
1 1/4 cup of sugar
1/2 cup of oil
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon of salt.
1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1/3 teaspoon of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
1/3 cup of milk
1 cup of Pumpkin pure
1/4 cup of chocolate chips optional
Instructions:
Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan, ensuring the bread won’t stick.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices. This step ensures that the dry ingredients are well combined and eliminates any lumps.
Add in wet ingredients: Add the eggs, oil, milk and then, gently mix in the canned pumpkin puree and any add-ins (like chocolate chips) if desired.
Pour into Loaf Pan: Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake to Perfection: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep a close eye on it in the final minutes to avoid overbaking.
Cool and Enjoy: Once done, remove the pumpkin bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and Savor: After the bread has cooled, slice it into thick, aromatic pieces. Serve it with a pat of butter, a drizzle of honey, or simply enjoy it as is.
What can you add to pumpkin bread?
Pumpkin bread is versatile and can be adapted to suit various tastes.
You can add ingredients like chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruit, or even a cream cheese swirl to enhance the flavor and texture according to your preferences.
How long can you store pumpkin bread?
Homemade pumpkin bread can last for varying lengths of time depending on how it’s stored. Proper storage is key to preserving its freshness.
Room Temperature
Pumpkin bread can be kept at room temperature for about 2 to 4 days if stored in an airtight container or wrapped tightly in plastic wrap. However, its shelf life can be influenced by factors like humidity and temperature. If it’s particularly humid or warm, it’s best to err on the side of caution and refrigerate or freeze it sooner.
Refrigerator
Storing pumpkin bread in the refrigerator can extend its freshness. When refrigerated in an airtight container or wrapped tightly in plastic wrap, pumpkin bread can stay good for up to 7 to 10 days. Just be sure it’s well covered to prevent it from drying out.
Freezer
For long-term storage, pumpkin bread freezes exceptionally well. To freeze pumpkin bread, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, then place it in an airtight freezer bag or container. Properly frozen, it can last for 2 to 3 months.
When you’re ready to enjoy frozen pumpkin bread, allow it to thaw at room temperature for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator. You can also gently reheat individual slices in the microwave or oven for a warm and fresh taste.
Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan, ensuring the bread won’t stick.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices. This step ensures that the dry ingredients are well combined and eliminates any lumps.

Slice and Savor: After the bread has cooled, slice it into thick, aromatic pieces. Serve it with a pat of butter, a drizzle of honey, or simply enjoy it as is.
Remember that these are general guidelines, and the actual shelf life may vary depending on factors like the specific recipe, ingredients used, and how well it’s wrapped or stored. Always use your best judgment and check for any signs of spoilage, such as mold, off smells, or changes in texture, before consuming any stored pumpkin bread.

This classic French crepe recipe is easy to make with 7 basic ingredients. Feel free to customize with your favorite sweet or savory fillings!
Is there anything more lovely than a plate filled with warm, delicate, buttery French crêpes? ♡
We were fortunate to have the opportunity visit a number of charming creperies during our years living in Europe, especially on our various trips to France. And I have to say, there is nothing like a well-made, paper-thin, lacy-edged crepe served fresh off of the pan. They are so effortlessly elegant and delicious in their simplicity. And, of course, the perfect blank slate for all of your favorite sweet or savory fillings!
The beauty of classic French crepes is that they are surprisingly easy to make at home too. All you need are 7 basic pantry ingredients, plus whatever fillings sound good, and your kitchen can transform into your own little French cafe in no time. I have always been partial to making crepe batter in a blender, which I find to be the simplest method, but you can just as easily make yours with a bowl and whisk if you prefer. Be sure to read the notes below for extra tips, plus bonus ideas for how to customize the batter or fillings to your liking.

Pistachio lovers… this one’s for you: with a green and nutty pistachio flavored filling, creamy sour cream topping, and a sweet and salty pistachio cookie crust.
Gorgeous and green and oh-so-delicious, this pistachio cheesecake is made with sour cream in the filling for a silky smooth texture, plus a sour cream topping for a perfectly creamy finish (no water bath necessary!)
Now that you’ve got a batch of homemade pistachio butter in your fridge (assuming, of course, that you haven’t completely devoured it yet), this pistachio cheesecake is the perfect use for it.
The cheesecake filling is incredibly simple, made from cream cheese, sugar, sour cream, whole eggs, and pistachio butter for flavor and color. Each bite is super creamy (dare I say, the creamiest) and with a nutty, buttery pistachio flavor that contrasts perfectly with the tangy cream cheese.
For even more pistachio flavor (because if some is good, more is better) I added chopped nuts to the crust, and sprinkled even more chopped pistachios on top for garnish, so every bite is chock full of pistachio flavor.
