Crockpot Pumpkin Bread

I usually reserve my pumpkin recipes for fall, but just because it's not fall, doesn't mean we can't enjoy a wonderful pumpkin recipe. (smile) 

 This bread recipe is one of my favorite recipes to make. It's easy, and it's so delicious! Do you like pumpkin bread? I hope your answer is yes, because I think it's one of the best sweet breads on this planet!

You don't need an oven to make this bread. NOPE! You need a crockpot. YES! A CROCKPOT! Have you ever made bread in your crockpot before? Did you even know you could? Well, before I found this recipe, I never knew you could. It was definitely a first for me! I have to admit, I was pretty skeptical, too. I mean...bread in a crockpot? Who ever heard of such a thing?

The first thing you need to make this bread is the recipe, so let me give that to you...

 You can click on any of these pictures to enlarge them, if you need to. That should make the recipe easier to read.

My crockpot is oval shaped, so a small bread pan fits into it nicely. If you have a round crockpot, maybe you could try using a round cake pan. I think that would work just fine, although you may have to split the batter between two pans. Just make sure you grease your pan(s) well.


If the paper towel part is a bit confusing, let me show you a picture...

This is a very important step, so you don't want to leave it out. What this does is keep the condensation from dripping on your bread while it's cooking. Nobody wants to eat soggy bread, right?

Now set your crockpot on high, and let your bread cook for about 2 1/2 ~ 3 hours. I usually set a timer for 2 1/2 and just keep checking it. You will know it's done when a tooth pick, or cake tester poked into the center comes out clean.

Once the bread is cooked, turn your crockpot off, unplug it, and carefully remove the pan of bread. Place the pan on a rack to cool for about 10 minutes before removing the bread.

Now here's the best part! Slice the bread and enjoy it with a cup of tea! Or maybe it's coffee you like. That works, too! (giggle)

This bread was super delicious! You probably didn't notice the loaf is already half eaten. (smile)

I hope you get the chance to try out this recipe. I promise you won't be disappointed, and if you do, I bet it'll become one of your favorites!

Blessings,
