All-purpose flour: This is the base of our bread. It gives the bread its structure. 2. Baking soda: This helps the bread rise. It reacts with acid in the pumpkin. 3.

Pumpkin puree: This is the star of the recipe. It keeps the bread moist and flavorful. 9. Granulated sugar: This sweetens the bread. It helps create a nice crust. 10. Brown sugar: Brown sugar adds moisture and a slight caramel flavor. 11. Vegetable oil: Oil keeps the bread tender. It helps with the moist texture. 12. Eggs: Eggs bind the ingredients. They also help the bread rise. 13. Vanilla extract: This adds a sweet, rich flavor. It rounds out the taste of the bread. 14. Nutella: This creamy chocolate-hazelnut spread is the best part! It makes the bread indulgent. - All-purpose flour: You can use whole wheat flour for a nuttier taste. - Granulated sugar: Coconut sugar works well if you want a lower glycemic index. - Vegetable oil: You can use melted coconut oil for a different flavor. - Eggs: Flax eggs or applesauce can replace eggs for a vegan option. - Nutella: Try peanut butter or almond butter for a different filling. First, gather all your ingredients. Measure 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour. Next, add 1 teaspoon of baking soda, ½ teaspoon of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Mix in 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon of ground nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon of ground ginger. Whisk these dry ingredients together in a medium bowl. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of pumpkin puree, ¾ cup of granulated sugar, and ½ cup of packed brown sugar. Pour in ½ cup of vegetable oil, add 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix these wet ingredients until smooth. Now, slowly add the dry mix to the wet mix. Stir just until combined, but do not overmix. This will help keep your bread soft and moist. Take your prepared loaf pan and pour half of the batter into it. Smooth the batter evenly across the bottom. Now, use a spoon to create a well in the center of the batter. This is where the magic happens! Generously fill the well with ½ cup of Nutella. Feel free to add more for a richer taste. Pour the remaining batter on top of the Nutella layer. Smooth it out again. For an extra touch, you can swirl a knife through the top layer. This creates a beautiful marble effect with the Nutella. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the oven is ready, bake the bread for 60-70 minutes. To check if it's done, insert a toothpick into the center. It should come out clean. After baking, let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. For the best presentation, slice the pumpkin bread warm. Drizzle a little melted Nutella on top and sprinkle with cinnamon. Enjoy this delightful treat! For the full recipe, check the details above. One big mistake is overmixing the batter. This can make your bread tough. Mix just until the dry ingredients blend in. Another common error is not greasing the pan well. This can cause the bread to stick. Always use a good amount of grease or line it with parchment paper. Finally, don’t forget to check the cooking time. Each oven is different. A toothpick should come out clean when it’s ready. To get soft and moist bread, use fresh pumpkin puree. Canned pumpkin works too, but check the label. Choose one with no added ingredients. Adding oil helps keep the bread moist. You can use applesauce instead for a lighter texture. Let the batter sit for a few minutes before baking. This helps the flavors meld together. You can add nuts for a crunchy bite. Walnuts or pecans work great. If you love chocolate, try adding chocolate chips along with Nutella. Another idea is to add a touch of vanilla extract for a warm flavor. You can also sprinkle a little sea salt on top before baking. This will enhance the sweetness of the Nutella. For the full recipe, check the earlier section. {{image_2}} While Nutella is a fantastic choice, you can experiment with other fillings. Try peanut butter for a nutty twist. You could also use cream cheese for a tangy flavor. If you enjoy fruit, add apple butter or even a layer of chocolate chips. This keeps your bread fun and fresh! Spices make your pumpkin bread special. Besides cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, you can add cardamom for warmth. Cloves add a sweet and spicy note. For a bit of heat, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper. Mixing spices can create unique flavors that surprise your taste buds. You can make this pumpkin bread gluten-free by using almond or coconut flour. Make sure to adjust the amount for the right texture. For a vegan version, replace eggs with flaxseed meal or applesauce. Use a plant-based oil instead of vegetable oil. These options keep the bread delicious while catering to your dietary needs. For the full recipe, check out the detailed guide above. To keep your Nutella stuffed pumpkin bread fresh, wrap it well. Use plastic wrap or aluminum foil. If you have a large piece, place it in an airtight container. This helps prevent it from drying out.

Then, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. You can also use freezer bags. Be sure to remove as much air as possible. Label the bag with the date. Your bread can last up to three months in the freezer.
