Pumpkin Bread

It's funny how over the holidays I always buy cans of pumpkin, but I never make pumpkin desserts for any get-togethers.  Since pumpkin is not a pantry staple for me, I forget the cans of pumpkin are in my pantry, so I'll make other desserts.  I actually still have a can of pumpkin in my pantry!

When I do remember about the pumpkin, I end up making cookies or muffins.

Recently I decided to make pumpkin bread.


Since the original recipe made two loaves and I only had one loaf pan, I ended up baking one loaf and a pan.  I guess you could consider the pan version a cake!

Either way, the bread (cake) came out moist and fluffy.  Perfect for a snack, dessert, or even breakfast!
