Notes
Be sure you buy pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
If you can not eat a whole loaf of pumpkin bread, then make this recipe in cupcake tins. You can easily freeze any extras in an airtight ziplock freezer bag.
So your bread does not stick, it is best to spray your loaf pan with non-sticking cooking spray and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Variations
I like to add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to my batter.
Pecans or walnuts would also be delicious in pumpkin bread.
Cut your bread into squares and top with cream cheese frosting for delicious treats.
