October has flown by, but it will not be over until I share
our favorite recipe for pumpkin bread! Bursting with flavor and open to
add-ins, this bread is a fall tradition for our family.
Despite all the ingredients, preparation is a cinch!
Mix the wet ingredients.
Mix the dry ingredients.
Combine.
Mix together.
Add in some raisins or toasted nuts if you want. Chocolate
chips would be yummy too! It is fun to experiment with it!
Bake in 2 loaf pans (yes, it makes two – give one away!) and
let it cool before slicing. Then enjoy a taste of autumn!
