Pumpkin Bread from scratch
Rate homemade pumpkin bread
Super easy pumpkin bread makes a great holiday snack. This recipe calls for canned pumpkin but you can use it with cooked and mashed pumpkin. If you have picky kids you may want to leave out the pecans or nuts. Serve it hot with a pat of butter!!! or serve it after cooling- either way it's delicious. It's a great treat to take to office parties or a great snack for coffee with friends.
