Notes

  • Start Checking at 35 Minutes: Every oven runs a little differently, so start testing for doneness earlier than you think you need to. Insert a toothpick in the center — it should come out clean. 
  • Use Pumpkin Puree, Not Pumpkin Pie Filling: They look almost identical on the shelf, but pie filling has added sugar and spices already mixed in, which will throw off the balance of the recipe. Double-check the label before you crack open that can!
  • Tent with Foil If Needed: If the top of the loaf is browning faster than the inside is cooking through, loosely lay a piece of aluminum foil over the top for the last stretch of baking. This slows down the browning without affecting how the inside bakes.
