Sometimes you have leftover pumpkin sitting in your fridge from all those fall pumpkin recipes. No pumpkin must be wasted! This is a quick bread that is simple & fast to throw together & bake in the oven warming your house & creating a yummy spiced aroma to fill your kitchen.
It uses only 1 cup of pumpkin so if you need a recipe that doesn’t call for 1 can of pumpkin, this will help you out. I also really like the glaze atop this pumpkin loaf. It really brings together the pumpkin with the spices. I totally eat this like it’s a slice of cake using my fork & savor every bite. It’s so yummy!
