- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Notes
Substitute allspice and nutmeg with extra cinnamon for a different spice profile. Applesauce can be replaced with pumpkin puree for richer pumpkin flavor. This pumpkin bread can be baked ahead and stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze the bread wrapped in foil for up to 3 months. Overmixing the batter can toughen the texture, so stir until just combined. Avoid opening the oven door during the first 45 minutes of baking to prevent collapsing.
