Pumpkin bread is a popular sweet bread that is made with pumpkin puree as the main ingredient. It is similar to other quick breads like banana bread and zucchini bread, but with a distinctive pumpkin flavor and aroma.
The bread is easy to make and can be baked in a loaf pan or muffin tin. It has a moist and tender crumb, and a slightly sweet and spicy flavor that is perfect for fall and winter. It can be enjoyed for breakfast, as a snack, or even as a dessert. Pumpkin bread is also a great way to use up leftover pumpkin puree after making other pumpkin dishes like pies or soups.
