Old-Fashioned Pumpkin Nut Bread

Old-Fashioned pumpkin nut bread is made with canned pumpkin, cinnamon, sugar, milk, egg, butter, and chopped nuts. Serve this easy quick bread for a fall breakfast or brunch.

Warm your kitchen with the aromas of cinnamon, nutmeg, and pumpkin. It is a moist dessert bread that can be a wonderful treat for your children, friends, and family.

Pumpkin bread is just one of those things that makes me think of a cool fall day after you have been outside raking leaves or cleaning up the garden for winter. Walking into a warm house after you have been outside in the chilly fall air and being greeted by the aroma of this baking in the oven is heavenly.

I tend to think of this type of quick bread more as a dessert than anything, but you can really eat it with any meal or just as a snack. Even after it cools, the flavor still tastes great. Serve it plain, with butter, or with this yummy cream cheese spread for a wonderful snack, dessert bread, or a quick breakfast or as part of a brunch menu.

You can even use this a a housewarming or Christmas gift. Just wrap it up in some colored cellophane and tie it with some curling ribbon. These types of breads also sell well at fall bake sales.
