This is my favorite Pumpkin Bread Recipe for this time of year. Making pumpkin bread always signals football, stew, and changing leaves for me. It is comforting, and smells the house up better then anything else.
We made a double batch yesterday and it didn’t last long. My kids favorite way to eat pumkin bread is with some cream cheese on the side. Well, or spoons full’s of cream cheese and a little pumpkin bread to go with it!
