Sliced moist pumpkin bread mini loaf pan recipe

Before I completely head out for the holidays,  I wanted to stop in and share one of my new favorite pumpkin bread recipes. Made in the cutest mini paper bread loaves, these tiny little guys are super moist and perfect for gifting any time of the year. (Pair with my printable thanksgiving cupcake toppers for an even cuter gift!)

I’m not usually one for heavily spiced pumpkin treats, but this pumpkin bread is a little different than previous recipes I’ve made. I cut back the amount of nutmeg, ditched the cloves, and boosted the cinnamon to create a lightly spiced version of one of my family’s favorite breads.

What You Need for This Mini Loaf Pan Recipe

  • For the Pumpkin Bread: All-purpose flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, eggs, canned pumpkin, oil, and water.
  • For Gifting: Mini loaf pan kit with plastic bread loaf bags, and printable bread gift tags. OR insert one of my Fall treat toppers to the top!

How to Make the Mini Pumpkin Bread:

Step 1: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg together with a whisk.

Step 2: Add Wet Ingredients & Mix

One at a time, add eggs, pumpkin, vegetable oil, and water and continue mixing with a spatula or wooden spoon until ingredients are incorporated and you can no longer see the flour. To avoid overmixing, I mix breads by hand. If you are using a electric mixer, be sure to use the lowest speed setting and stop mixing as soon as flour disappears.

Step 3: Scoop into Mini Loaf Pans & Bake

Scoop 3 tablespoons of batter in each mini bread loaf and gently shake pan to even out the batter. Bake at 350 degrees for 18-24 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool completing before cutting.

Tip: If you would like to bake this in a standard sized mini loaf tin (5 1/2 x 3″ size), see FAQ section below.

Once the bread is fully cooled, wrap in a cellophane and attach a printable gift tag (download link in materials box above). Or insert a printable Fall treat topper to the top of each one!

Frequently Asked Questions:

What is the size of a mini loaf pan?

Most mini loaf pans are 5 1/2 by 3 inches but these mini baking pans are even tinier (about 4 x 2 x 1.5″), which make them perfect for single serving gifting.

This mini loaf pan recipe bakes up perfectly & comes out super clean because of their pre-cut corrugated edges that allow you to tear down the sides for easy removal. Slip them in plastic bags, twist closed, and stick on a fun gift tag for a easy homemade gift.

How many loaf pans does this recipe make?

If you’re using the mini loaf pans and filling each with 3 tablespoons of batter, you will get about 10 mini loaf tins out of it. If you’re using the more standard size mini loaf pan (5 1/2 x 3″ size), fill each with about 1 cup of batter to yield 4 loafs.

Tip: You can also turn these into cupcakes or muffins by baking in regular sized muffin liners. Will make about 22 muffins/cupcakes when filled with 3 tablespoons of batter. Check out my easy pumpkin cupcake recipe!
