This top-rated pumpkin bread recipe has earned 7,000+ 5-star reviews. Yes, it's that good. You can bake it into a large loaf, mini loaves, or muffins — just adjust the total baking time. It also freezes beautifully, if you want to make and freeze a few for quick snacks or give-aways later.

Love chocolate? Give this one a try. Top tip: To keep the chips from sinking to the bottom, dust them with flour before mixing them into the dough. TheBritishBaker drizzled her loaves with white and orange icing to give her loaves colorful autumn flair.

An entire orange, peel and all, is pureed into this citrus-y pumpkin loaf. Erin says, "This is an extraordinary bread. The first time I made it I grated the outer orange peel and then put in the orange sections thinking if I used the whole orange it would be too bitter. The next time I followed the directions using the whole orange and the difference was remarkable. So follow the directions!"
