Fall Pumpkin Raisin Bread With Walnuts

A pumpkin raisin bread recipe made with pumpkin and flavored with nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, raisins and walnuts. Serve for brunch, dessert, or a snack.

What says fall better than pumpkin and the spices like ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg that go with it? This is a nice treat for any occasion like a fall brunch, Thanksgiving, or dessert. If you love the flavor of pumpkin, more than likely you will want to enjoy it more often than just Halloween.

This loaf smells so good when just out of the oven and cooling on a wire rack. It fills your kitchen with the fragrances of fall.

Put it in the oven on a crisp fall day, light a candle and enjoy a slice warm with a good book.

Cut the loaf into small, thin slices and serve it as part of a brunch menu. You can also serve it for afternoon coffee or dessert. Enjoy it with a mug of hot apple cider.

You can leave the raisins and walnuts out if you dislike them or have allergies, but I find the raisins add to the entire flavor of the bread. So, that is up to you. This quick bread is delicious without either of those ingredients.

Serve this pumpkin bread warm with real dairy butter or try this fantastic cream cheese spread.
