PUMPKIN BREAD

Things I love about October:

  • Target’s Halloween section
  • G-rated Halloween movies (I stopped watching scary movies after I watched The Ring)
  • Most importantly…all things pumpkin.pumpkin bread
Around this time of year my husband starts asking, “Where’s the pumpkin bread?” So then I have to go digging for my mother-in-law’s famous recipe which I can never find and have to call my mother-in-law for. I still don’t think my bread will ever be as good as when Sheri makes it but here’s to trying.

ADD ONS

You can add chocolate chips on top but I prefer it plain.

HOW TO MAKE PUMPKIN BREAD

INSTRUCTIONS

  3. Add sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and flour and mix well.
  4. Pour into three medium foil loaf pans that have been sprayed with cooking spray. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-60 minutes or when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Don’t overcook. Top should be brown and not wet. Wrap in saran wrap while warm.

You can wrap this in saran wrap and then foil and freeze for up to 3 months! Thaw and eat when ready.
