It’s that time of year again—the time when I start buying canned pumpkin in bulk in an effort to appease my annual pumpkin cravings. It’s actually become quite the problem recently, and we’ve just barely entered the fall season! Alas, my sweet tooth must be dealt with, so I whipped out my to-die-for delicious pumpkin bread recipe, which is a staple fall food in my house. I personally love a lot of cinnamon in my bread, so I added more than this recipe calls for. You could also try adding nuts or raisins to add more texture to the bread. Tweak it as you like and custom bake your own pumpkin bread!
