Pumpkin Bread
Are you tired of pumpkin yet? I hope not, because I’ve got a few more recipes to share with you. Since pumpkin recipes are really only appropriate a few months out of the year, I’ve got to squeeze them all in now, before it’s too late.
I told you last week that I almost never see a recipe and immediately make it. Well maybe I’m changing, because this is another recipe I just couldn’t resist. I saw this bread on Baking Junkie and I was intrigued by the fact that it was an old family recipe. You normally can’t go wrong with those! Plus it looked so good I couldn’t stop thinking about it.
I’m so glad I made it, because it is absolutely wonderful. It may be the best pumpkin bread I’ve ever had (and I already had a favorite chocolate chip pumpkin bread recipe on here!) This one is a classic. Moist, sweet, and full of pumpkin flavor, this bread just begs to be devoured. I won’t tell you how quickly we ate this loaf because I would be embarrassed, but I will tell you that next time I’m making it in muffin form to add an element of portion control. Yes, it’s that good.
