Yield: | 2 8×4-inch loaves |
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup vegetable oil
- 4 eggs
- 1 (15 ounce) can 100% pure pumpkin
- ⅔ cup white sugar
- ⅔ cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ¾ cups old-fashioned rolled oats, divided
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease two 8×4-inch loaf pans.
- Stir together oil, eggs, and pumpkin in a large bowl. Stir in white and brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg until well combined. Beat in flour and 1 1/2 cups of oats.
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pans; sprinkle tops with remaining 1/4 cup of oats. Press oats lightly into top of the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted in the middle of a loaf comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes before slicing.
- I use a flour blend of equal parts whole wheat flour, wheat germ, and ground oats to add flavor and density to almost all my recipes. It works great in this bread also.

Reviews
It came out delicious! We made maple pumpkin butter to put on it and it tastes fabulous together.
This turned out exactly like I wanted! So delicious and moist, with a little texture from the oats. I did cook it about 48 minutes since the toothpick was not clean until then. Also, I don’t know why it says to beat the flour and oats into the wet mixture – it should probably say ‘stir just until combined’.
This is great. Eat it with melted butter. It’s very dense, but still delicious.
I enjoyed this recipe. It turned out a bit more dense than I had anticipated. Overall, the bread was very tasty. I had a bit of a mishap and added 1/2 tablespoon of nutmeg Instead of 1/2 teaspoon, and removed the extra as best as I could. The nutmeg wasn’t overpowering, so I guess it turned out ok. I’d certainly make this again.
The bread wasn’t bad is was pretty good but it la lacked a little sweetness and was a little gooey in the middle. I would add a little brown sugar and cook it a little longer next time.
Well, I didn’t have oil, so I subbed applesauce. Also, I didn’t have brown sugar. This loaf still came out very tasty!! Can’t wait to make again.
I bake a lot and changed this majorly after reading two reviews: over cover 3/4 cup raisins with water and microwave for 1.5 minutes in separate bowl stir together with 11/3c oatmeal until evenly moist and set aside. mix 1/3 c oil, 6 eggs, and 14 oz pumpkin together,skip the white sugar and substitute 3 packages of stevia with vanilla,add 1 teaspoon of soda and 1 teaspoon of ginger, add chopped walnuts if you love nuts with the oatmeal and raisin mixture; the rest is the same. I used some as muffins and some in small loaf pans.Less calories and very Light! Enjoy!
Yes, I added dried cranberries and chopped walnuts. It was amazing. Every bite moist and a burst of flavor. This recipe is a must try. We used our Halloween pumpkin, which I still cook down every year for pies and bread for the holidays.
Dry, dense, and tasteless. Each loaf was super heavy and the spice taste seemed funky.
very good! A dense bread packed with good things. Less sweet than most pumpkin breads or quick breads. Perfect for heating and topping with butter. Loaf is as tall as most quick breads. I skipped topping it with extra oats. Substituted quick oats. Used half course ground whole wheat flour and half fine-milled white flour. Added 1 tsp baking powder (1 tsp baking powder for each cup flour) Will definitely make it again!
This is the worst bread ever, dry, no flavour, not sweet, this should be called Lo fat bread.
I used butternut squash instead of pumpkin,and 2and 1/2 cups of whole wheat flour instead of 3 cups of all purpose flour. I used 1 and 1/2 cups of rolled oats in the batter. Instead of putting oats on tops of loaves I sprinkled them with cinnamon sugar. The loaves did not turn out as tall as I would have liked. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate it a 9. Definitely worth making again.
Good proportions. To make sure it was not overly dense I seperated the eggs and whipped the whites folding them into the batter. Also I didn’t have enough all purpose flour so I used I cup of tapioca flour. Perhaps a littel vanilla extract would have added even more flavor.
I followed the recipe exactly and ended up with two very dense unappealing loaves. Also there was very little flavor. I won’t be trying this again.
I love this recipe! It is so moist and “pumpkiny”! I substitued natural applesauce for the oil. If it wasn’t for all the sugar, it would be almost good for you! 🙂 I made 1 regular loaf and 3 mini loaves. That works out best for me.
this was great! I made it into muffins instead. I also, based on advice from another reveiw, upped the leavening ingrediant jsut a smidge. I think I could taste it a little and I didn’t see much difference. I would bake these again, very hearty!
this bread/recipe is *awesome*. i was looking for a tasty way to get more fiber into my family’s diet and this hit the spot. granted, there are other (healthier, packed with more fiber) recipes out there to try but i was in the mood for some fall comfort food. the bread is very dense and slightly chewy (probably due to the oats)… the flavor is fantastic. my extremely picky fiancé fell in love at first bite, and in our house that says a lot.
8.17.10 … https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/212463/pumpkin-oat-bread/ … Mine took closer to an hour (plus) to bake. To plump the oats, I let them sit in a half cup of applesauce, quarter cup oil & the pumpkin for a while. I subbed splenda for the white sugar. It is a heavy bread – heavier than most. No “wows,” but pretty good. Next day review: 13 year old boy likes it. Surprise. The spices deepened overnight. Not strong still, but more evident. I’ll have to play with this one to get it lighter – as in less dense. A couple more days later, the spices intensified so much no one liked it. We threw it away. Definately wouldn’t freeze this one. Eat within a few days.
Hubby made this for my birthday. It has everything I like in it – well, except peanut butter!
I made it for my diabetic husband. I subbed applesauce for the oil. Used whole wheat pastry flour and my own blend of pumpkin pie spice. I halved the recipe & used Splenda for the white sugar, but left the brown in. We are enjoying it.
I did not care for this recipe.
