Pumpkin Bread

by

I bought Pumpkin Puree this evening in hopes that I would come up with something new, fun, and festive for fall, but my mind kept taking me straight to Good ole fashioned Pumpkin Bread. Gimme a loaf of moist (I know we all hate that word but it’s just so fitting) and delicious pumpkin bread, and i’m a happy gal.

Everyone needs a classic Pumpkin Bread Recipe at their fingertips if you ask me.  Not only does it make your house smell like heaven, but it’s just nice to keep around for those busy back-to-school mornings.  I make Pumpkin Bread any chance I get because it’s totally amaze but also because everyone absolutely  l o v e s  it.  I’m telling you, people don’t turn down anything Pumpkin.  Pumpkin this, pumpkin that, and you’ve got a line at the door. It makes for a great holiday treat or potluck item, as well.

This Pumpkin Bread is just a great classic recipe to keep around.  I like to use my KitchenAid Stand Mixer  for quick breads, cakes, cookies, etc. because it’s amazing, but also to make sure I get all the clumps out. That is obviously a personal preference! I threw some walnuts into the batter and sprinkled some pumpkin seeds on top before placing in the oven, but both are completely optional. By the way, have you tried Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Spice Pumpkin Seeds yet?  I saw them the other day as I was cruising down the aisle, and I couldn’t help but grab a bag.  I mean…. SO-GOOD. That’s what I used as the topping here, and what a great combo, I tell ya.

You can honestly never go wrong with bringing freshly baked goods to any event.  After photographing this delicious loaf last night, I ended up eating two LARGE slices, so to work with me it went, and it was gone in a flash! Enjoy!
