Pumpkin Bread

I don’t know about you but I am a pumpkin fanatic. Any chance I can get to make something pumpkin, I’m on it. One of my very favorites is, of course, pumpkin bread. It’s warm and comforting. A treat for the senses. You can serve it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. With cinnamon honey butter or cream cheese spread, you can’t go wrong.

This year my children found their love for pumpkin and I couldn’t be more excited to share all of my recipes with them. This one in particular I have been perfecting over the years. Trying to get the right level of moistness and that perfect pop of pumpkin flavor. It’s so delicious!

You can also use this recipe to make pumpkin muffins. Which, in my opinion, are perfect for Christmas time. I often make them adding all kinds of nuts, raisins, and even pineapple. Another recipe coming to the blog so stay tuned.
