The Most Delicious Pumpkin Bread
A friend recently brought me this loaf of pumpkin bread when she visited me. We ate it with my Pumpkin Butter. I knew I couldn’t share the pumpkin butter with you, and not give you the recipe for the Pumpkin Bread! This recipe is partly what made my pumpkin butter taste so good, I am sure!
In fact, this Pumpkin Bread is so good it should probably be called Pumpkin Cake. It is that delicious!
Yes, I did ask permission to share the recipe with you here. And no, she is not online so I can’t link to her to give her the credit. But if you try her recipe and comment here about how good it is, I will be sure to pass on the compliments to her! : )
I love to toast pumpkin bread or banana bread like this in my little toaster oven. Then spread butter over it and it is sooo delicious! Especially with a cup of tea or even milk.
The holidays might be a little harder this year for many who have lost or are afraid of losing loved ones. I imagine Thanksgiving dinner will look a lot different for many people because of traveling issues or a number of other details. Maybe you could just share this recipe with someone to cheer them up. Perhaps you could both bake it, and eat it together over Zoom… (I did hear that Zoom has lifted its 40 minute limit just for Thanksgiving!).
I’ve kind of gone overboard with the Pumpkin themed posts this season…. I hope you have enjoyed them! This is the last one until next year. From now on it will be allll about Christmas. And do I ever have alot of those to share with you, too!
