I like anything made with pumpkin, but this tender loaf is irresistible. Sometimes, I'll top it with a spicy glaze that feature nutmeg and cinnamon.

I made this delicious bread and gave one loaf to my neighbor. My husband got mad at me for giving it away because he absolutely loved it. It is so good. The more you eat, the more you want and it is wonderful with a cup of coffee. I will make this over and over again.
