My grandmother would make pumpkin bread for every occasion, not matter if it was fall or not! Some of my best baking memories are when I would help her make this. You can use regular size loaf pans, small loaf pans, and muffin tins, just adjusting the cook time (loaves take about 50 minutes). For a sweet fall treat, this never disappoints and fills my heart with all the right amount of warmth and spice.
