A couple weeks ago it was Canadian Thanksgiving and we made a yummy pumpkin pie to celebrate. But making pie meant that we had half a can of pumpkin left over and we needed to think of something else to make. We found an incredibly easy pumpkin bread recipe and all our problems were solved.
So on the chilly morning that we found the easy recipe for Pumpkin Bread. I got the guys ready to bake. We changed the pumpkin bread recipe a little bit by adding a little vanilla and allspice. (And NO RAISINS AND NUTS-both boys yelled at me when I went to put them in the mix.) This pumpkin bread recipe is awesome because we probably added a little too much of some things and not enough of others and it still worked. We also split the recipe so that each boy got to measure half the ingredients into his own bowl and then we combined them in the end. I will definitely be making this again-it was easy, delicious and foolproof. But if it were up to me, I’d add roasted pecans too.
Here is our finished product of our pumpkin bread. I’ve only recently discovered parchment paper and love how it makes it easy to just pull the loaf out of the pan. (Yes, you probably knew that already, but to me it was nothing short of a small miracle.)
And we enjoyed our pumpkin bread with breakfast. FYI: That lumpy stuff in the bottom is oatmeal. You can’t win at cooking everything;)
Can you share the pumpkin bread recipe?
I just realized that the recipe is above! I will have to try it soon.
Yes-just click the link. It was really moist and delicious! After Halloween, I want to try it with fresh pumpkin too.
m-m-m-m-m. That breakie looks good enough to eat. Even sliced apples.
Boys, you are two lucky guys who has a mom who makes such a delish looking breakie. What time did you make the pumpkin bread? 5:00 a.m.?
Can hardly wait to make the bread. Lauren will report her taste test to you. It won’t be until after we cook our sweet pumpkins, though.
