I know, I know. Tis the season for all things pumpkin. I mean there is pumpkin-flavored EVERYTHING in the stores. I want to take you back to the original pumpkin fall treat, Perfect Pumpkin Bread.
When something is this good, you make two. And it just so happens this recipe makes two loaves. One for you and one for your neighbor (or two for you — you absolutely can freeze it.) You don’t have to eat it all in a weekend but if you do, I won’t tell.
This Fall favorite was given to me by my sister, Linda Blackstone. From the first taste, I knew I was adding this recipe to my arsenal. The bread is moist, delicious and not too spicy. The addition of nuts makes it especially good!
Perfect Pumpkin Bread
