Properly Measure Flour: If you just dip your measuring cup into a bag of flour, chances are you have way too much flour due to packing. I keep a small digital scale to accurately measure flour BUT you can also use the spoon and level method too if you don't have a scale. To do this, use a spoon to fluff up the flour within your flour bag or container. Then use a spoon to scoop the flour into the measuring cup and finally use the straight edge of a knife to level the flour across the measuring cup.
Don't Overmix - Overmixing can make your pumpkin bread tough or bake unevenly. You want to mix your ingredients until the flour is just combined.
Wooden Skewer Test - when your pumpkin bread is toward the end of its bake, make sure to insert a wooden skewer into the center of the pumpkin bread. When you pull the wooden skewer out, you want it with a few moist crumbs or completely clean to indicate its finished baking. If there is any wet batter, it needs to continue to bake, I recommend baking in 2-3 minute increments until the wooden skewer comes out clean or a few moist crumbs.
