This pumpkin bread has been a hit year after year! It’s easy and absolutely delicious! Makes a great hostess gift or gift for your neighbors. Last year I made several loaves in these decorative pans, and wrapped each in a cellophane bag with Baker’s twine ribbon and a cute tag, and delivered to each of our neighbors. We also serve this, along with an egg casserole, every Christmas morning. Oh how it makes the house smell like the MOST WONDERFUL time of the year!!
