Ingredients
1/2 c. oil1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
15 oz. canned pumpkin (NOT pumpkin pie mix)
1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1 & 1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. allspice (or sub 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, 1/2 tsp. nutmeg, 1/4 tsp. cloves)
My favorite time of the year, and when I smell the wonderful aroma of pumpkin and cinnamon from the kitchen I can’t help but to get excited!
- Combine the “wet” ingredients in a medium sized bowl – oil, eggs and pumpkin.
- Stir in sugars.
- In another bowl, combine the remaining dry ingredients.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until just blended.
- Pour the batter into a buttered bread pan.
- Place the loaf pan on a wire rack in a 6-Quart or larger slow cooker. If your slow cooker doesn’t have a wire rack insert, crumple foil to sit between the bottom of the slow cooker and the bread pan (to prevent burning.)
- Place a paper towel over the slow cooker and top with the lid.
- Cook on High for 3 hours or until a knife comes out clean when testing the bread.
Happy Crocking!

Silly question but when you say cover the top with paper towels do they go inside the crock pot? Never made bread in my crock pot before and would love to try it.
Could you include a pic of the paper towel process??
Casey all you do is lay it over the top of the crock pot, over the edge of the crock, and when you put the lid on the crock, it is just under the lid, not down on the bread, and holds the moisture from dripping down on the bread. It sounds complicated, but really very simple. I make Banana Bread the same way! http://www.getcrocked.com/2011/11/17/crock-pot-banana-bread/ Happy Crocking!
I have a silly question too. What is the benefit of doing it this way instead of in the oven when it seems I’m making just as many dirty dishes and it’s taking longer?
No question is silly Nancy! You can certainly make Pumpkin Bread any way you would like. I find in the slow cooker with the moisture inside the slow cooker that it is moist and made just the way I like it. Just a choice of how you would like to make it! 🙂
I have to say this bread is insanely good!!! Best pumpkin anything I’ve ever had. It was so so so so very moist. Almost like pumpkin pie. Thank you!!!
So glad you enjoyed it Nisha! I have to agree with you. Thanks for the feed back! 🙂
when do you add the sour cream? And on the instructions it says oil but there is no oil listed in the ingredients
So Sorry! I have edited the recipe and removed the sour cream.. Thanks for the question!
How much oil? It’s not in the list of ingredients. :-/
Thanks for the question Christine, I just edited the recipe… I’m not sure how the recipe changed, but I have it corrected now! Happy Crocking!
