    Sliced pumpkin bread on a wooden board with a bread knife and checkered napkin on the side.

    This moist and delicious Five Spice Pumpkin Bread is the best pumpkin bread you'll ever have! It's a family recipe that appears this time of year without fail!

     A baked loaf of pumpkin bread sliced half-way through on top of a wooden cutting board with a bread knife and black and white checkered napkin on the side.

    This recipe makes a butt load of pumpkin bread so you'll need two large loaf pans, and maybe even another little one, for the extra batter. I like to freeze these and pull them out whenever I want to serve something sweet.

    If you don't want that much you can always cut the recipe in half. But, once you taste this pumpkin bread you'll want to make it over and over again! Happy Holidays!

    A white mixing bowl filled with pumpkin bread batter with mixing beaters on the side on top of a white wooden plank board.

    I've altered the recipe slightly with the addition of the Chinese Five Spice. This spice adds so many layers of flavor like cinnamon, fennel seeds, and star anise. Trust me, it's subtle so you won't really notice it's in there but you'll say, "That's really good, wonder what makes it taste like this?"

    Seriously, you could eat this pumpkin bread batter right out of the bowl, but save the calories and just lick the beaters!

    Pour the pumpkin bread batter into two large loaf pans. You may even need another small pan for this recipe.
