15 Fall Breads To Keep You Warm All Autumn Long

by Rebecca Deczynski

Fall is undoubtedly the ultimate season for baking. When your heat is yet to be turned on, there’s no better way to warm your apartment than by baking some delicious fall breads. And with the right recipe, you can mimic that delicious pumpkin loaf, apple bread, or any other autumnal treat that you could find at your local farmer’s market — or make something even more delicious.

Pie is clearly a fall go-to, but it’s not the only baked good that we like to whip up once temperatures drop and the leaves start changing colors. From seasonal apple recipes to cinnamon-filled desserts, the culinary options for autumn are basically limitless. The possibilities are enough to motivate you to preheat that oven and start whipping up a tasty treat that you’ll find yourself snacking on all day long.

While you can get experimental in your baking, you don’t have to be a seasoned chef to whip up your own fall loaf. Just stock up on plenty of seasonal ingredients, and get excited. You may just want to bake a loaf of bread for every day of the week. Savory or sweet, these 15 recipes will help you celebrate autumn in the tastiest way possible.

1. Cream Cheese-Filled Pumpkin Bread

Forget the red velvet cake. Forget the carrot cake. Averie Cooks proves that pumpkin bread is the ideal vessel for cream cheese.

2. Apple Bread

It doesn't get much better than A Farmgirl's Dabbles' simple, classic, moist apple bread.

3. Brown Butter Kabocha Squash Loaf

For something different, try out Five and Spice's glazed squash bread. You can use either kabocha or butternut squash — both are equally tasty.
