I love Fall, the hot summers are finally over, and around here fall weather couldn’t be more perfect. I also love fall colors and of course pumpkins and mums. This recipe is one of my most pinned recipes ever. My Famous Pumpkin Bread. It is so good and one you all seem to love, so I thought it was time to share again. Great for Halloween right on through Christmas.
The cooler weather always makes me want to start baking and fill the house with wonderful pumpkin, apple, and cinnamon smells.
One of our very favorite things is Pumpkin Bread and I have an amazing recipe. Fresh, hot out of the oven and it smells soooooooooooooo good.
This recipe makes 3 large loaves and freezes well. It is so moist and soooooooo good. I hope you give it a try.
(This is my well-worn and used recipe card. It even has a few pumpkin stains on it too. )
When cool I always frost mine with a nice powdered sugar glaze. (Just add a small amount of milk to powdered sugar and stir until smooth, generously spread over the top of the loaf and let run down the sides.) These loaves freeze really well. Wrap them in heavy-duty foil and then place them inside a freezer bag and store in the freezer.
