Keeping with the pumpkin theme that will be continuing here for a bit, here is the classic pumpkin bread.
You can’t just pass through October, November, and December and not have any pumpkin bread!
There are so many recipes and variations of pumpkin bread out there that it is hard to choose the one you want to make.
I did it though. I chose one and I’m pretty happy with it. It’s called Downeast Maine Pumpkin Bread.
It is a pretty easy recipe and was ready in about an hour and made the house smell delicious.
True to the excerpt on the page, it does taste better the next day.
Warm it up, slap some butter on it, and then go to town. You’ll love it!
