Pumpkin Bread

Pumpkin is everywhere! And since today happens to be my birthday (another year older! WISER! ) I thought I would share a Pumpkin Bread recipe I made recently. If you haven’t already learned pumpkin is one my favs! Prove it you say?  Well when I was younger my Mom let us pick out a birthday dinner meal she would cook us, along with whatever cake we wanted. I ALWAYS picked pumpkin pie. Hands down it was my favorite “cake” out there!

Not only is it part of my birthday celebration, in my pantry, mixer and oven..it’s everywhere on Pinterest–as a beer cooler (great idea, right?)

or even as a flower pot.

It’s also on a lot of doorsteps and used as decoration around people’s houses (as in yesterday’s post which had these chalk painted pumpkins) that I found on the website Perfectly Imperfect. Love!

Pumpkins are great to look at and decorate with (especially when they are colorful like these).….but I am more of a fan of them for cooking! Yum.

I love pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin cookies, roasted pumpkin seeds and, of course, pumpkin bread. Really, the list goes on and on.  Starbucks has pumpkin bread that I love and has inspired me to make my own each year. It is easy and a great thing to bring to a party, thanksgiving or just eat at your leisure.

Yum!

This Pumpkin Bread recipe is an easy one that’s great for breakfast or even dessert,  so get baking!
