This pumpkin bread is a long-standing, always-requested family favorite, and a traditional must-have at holidays! Ever since I can remember, I have made this pumpkin bread at every major holiday. I hold this recipe to be so delicious that it competes with any popular chocolate, cream cheese, salted carmel, red velvet, etc., desserts I can think of. This recipe has been in my family for decades and was a popular favorite of my grandmother Blanche. There is a reason that this is the only pumpkin bread recipe featured in my family cookbook. After this recipe was made, we never had use for another. I HIGHLY recommend giving this recipe a chance before any other recipe you can find. I have never found a recipe better than this and I don’t know if I ever will. A winner for sure!
This is a long-standing, always-requested family favorite, and a traditional must-have at holidays!
