Hands down, the only bread my hubby will eat this time of year

There are few things more comforting than the aroma of freshly baked pumpkin bread wafting through the house, especially as the leaves begin to turn and a chill sets in the air. This Pumpkin Bread recipe has been passed down in my family for generations, starting with my Nana who used to bake it every autumn using pumpkins from her own garden. When you bake this bread, you’re not just making a treat; you’re creating a piece of history, a connection to simpler times when food was made with love and care. This recipe is perfect for a cozy afternoon, a family gathering, or as a thoughtful homemade gift.
Pumpkin bread is wonderfully versatile and pairs beautifully with a hot cup of coffee or a steaming mug of tea. For an extra special treat, spread it with a bit of creamy butter or even a dollop of spiced whipped cream. It’s also delightful toasted with a pat of honey or paired with a hearty, savory soup for a balanced meal.
