Pumpkin Bread

The other day, I made pumpkin puree. With over a kilo of the stuff, now I have to find some things to make with it, right? Well, never fear, I’ve come up with a whole bunch of ideas for how to use it. The only question is whether time will allow for it all.

The first thing I’ve prepared is Pumpkin Bread. It’s quick, easy, and delicious. And I didn’t even use Pumpkin Pie Spice.

Go figure.

I’m calling it pumpkin bread, because it’s more of a quick bread than a cake. It not as sweet as a cake, but it can be jazzed up with a little imagination. Which, I did.
