This copycat Bob Evans pumpkin bread recipe is perfect for making a restaurant favorite at home! It also smells amazing while it bakes.
I love recreating my favorite restaurant dishes at home. If you’re anything like me (a total pumpkin spice fanatic) then you may also love making pumpkin bread all year round. This Bob Evans pumpkin bread is super easy to make at home.
This recipe is for one loaf but you can easily double the recipe if desired. This pumpkin bread will also make your house smell amazing while it bakes.
Ingredients needed
For this recipe, you will need:
- All purpose flour: The base of the pumpkin bread.
- Baking soda: To help the bread rise.
- Salt: You’ll need just ½ a teaspoon of salt for this recipe.
- Nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger: To give the pumpkin bread a little spice.
- Sugar and brown sugar: To sweeten the bread.
- Vanilla extract: If possible, I recommend using pure vanilla extract.
- Eggs: This recipe calls for four large eggs. I think the eggs help the pumpkin bread have a closer to taste to the original and help bind the pumpkin bread together.
- Canned pumpkin: You’ll need one cup of canned pumpkin. If you want to use your entire can of pumpkin then double the recipe. Make sure to use canned pumpkin and not pumpkin pie mix.
- Vegetable oil: You can also use safflower oil or another neutral oil.
You will also need a well greased 9 x 5 inch loaf pan.
How to make
To make this pumpkin bread, begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees.
Next, in a large mixing bowl combine your dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, sugar, and brown sugar). Mix well with a large spoon.
Mix in the wet ingredients (eggs, pumpkin, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil). Use a hand mixer to mix everything until well combined.
Pour batter into a well greased 9 x 5 inch loaf pan. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the middle.
Tips
- You can easily double this recipe and make two loaves, if desired.
- You can freeze this banana bread if desired. I recommend doing a double layer of aluminum foil or plastic food storage wrap.

Am I able to use pumpkin pie spice? Instead of ground clove and nutmeg?

I am in the middle of making this recipe and see baking soda listed twice. I assumed it was a typo and hope we don’t need baking powder also.
Audrey says
Hi Denise, yes, it was a duplicate entry. It should just be one teaspoon. I am human and mess up sometimes 🙂
