- Pour into two loaf pans and bake at 350ºF for 1 hour and 5 minutes

Can I Freeze Pumpkin Bread?
This bread is easy to make one loaf for eating and one for freezing for later. To freeze this bread allow it to cool completely then wrap in a layer of plastic wrap and another of foil. Freeze for up to 4 months.
Another simple way we like to freeze this bread is already sliced. Simply slice the bread into serving sized slices and place in a zip top freezer bag. When you are ready for a slice, simply take one out and microwave or place in the toaster! So perfect for breakfast or a snack!!
How to Store Pumpkin Bread
If you do happen to have any left, wrap tightly in foil or place in a zip top bag. It can also be placed in an air tight container. This will keep for 3-4 days if sealed or wrapped tightly.
