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 it smells soooooooooooooo good. I Love The Enticing Smell Of Warm Pumpkin Bread
I Love The Enticing Smell Of Warm Pumpkin Bread right out of the oven and I love it when it’s cool too.
(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. For gifts I bake them in disposable foil pans and then slide them inside a large freezer zip-lock bag and store in the freezer until gift time.
They also make amazing gifts for friends and family. Everyone in my family asks for a loaf every Christmas, so I make a lot. I try to give them a little special tag and ribbon for the season.
This recipe makes 3 large loaves and freezes well. It is so moist and soooooooo good. I hope you give it a try, I know your family will love it just like mine does.
