Spiced Pumpkin Bread

We’re suddenly in the middle of pumpkin season, which means lots of pumpkin recipes! This pumpkin bread was inspired by the kind my late grandma used to make on weekends — usually with carrots or chocolate, baked in a wood oven. Very old-school, and so delicious it was gone before it even cooled.

It’s a very simple recipe and any kind of pumpkin works. The only thing to watch is how much moisture the pumpkin gives off, which affects the baking time. I’ll admit I’ve been quietly baking this for a while and it’s been a hit every time — even the kids love it. So get your bread tin out and let’s bake.
