We Love Fall Flavors!
Our mom is known for her bread and this easy pumpkin bread is one of her adaptations. It is so good and soft and has become a fall favorite because of how simple it is and because its bursting with pumpkin flavor. We changed it up a bit by adding some cinnamon and sugar on top which adds an extra layer of flavor and texture to the bread, making it an irresistible pumpkin recipe (like our Pumpkin Cupcakes and Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies).
Ingredients
PREP TIME: 10 minutes COOK TIME: 1 hour 15 minutes
