Your fall is now complete because of this Super Moist Sour Cream Pumpkin Bread.

Now, before I share this recipe, I will acknowledge the fact that some people do not like the word “moist.” Some hear a phrase such as “this towel got a little moist” or “I just stepped on something moist” and suddenly their skin is crawling as if someone scratched their fingernails across a chalkboard. Indeed, the word “moist” makes some people shudder, and because of this, my sons think it is fun to use this word way more often than is needed. They wear this shirt with pride —>

Why? Because they are gentlemen who care about the feelings of others.

But now let’s talk about the word “moist” in the context of a baked good. I believe this gives it a wonderful and good meaning. After all, who doesn’t like their cake or quick bread to be perfectly moist? Especially when the alternative is that the cake or quick bread is dry and crumbly? Shouldn’t we, even those of us who don’t like the word “moist,” want our baked goods to be moist? Of course we should.

Rest assured, this bread is moist because of the sour cream, which makes it delicious and that’s all there is to it.

    Shrill. I can’t stand that word.

    We ate all of last year’s pumpkin so it’s either cook down the kids’ pumpkins or wait for the canned pumpkin sale for me.

    I made a batch of pumpkin bread last night using some vanilla pudding mix in the batter. Very good but it seems gooey and it “fell” some after I pulled it from the oven. Looking at your picture, it looks like yours “falls” some too. Is that correct? I like my bread to be perky. LOL. Thanks for the recipe! Will be trying it soon!

      Yes, I was a little disappointed that this fell a little too. I think the super moistness makes that happen and I’m not sure how to prevent it!

    My cousins and I have always joked about “moist towelettes ” and “morsel”. The t-shirt is a must.

    Either it’s my eyes or my monitor, but I can’t read the writing on the t-shirt, and I’m dying to know what it says—please help! LOL

      It says, “Moist. Because at least one person you know hates this word.” :)
