This delicious pumpkin bread recipe comes from my Grandma Bauer’s recipe box. It is moist. It is flavorful, but not too spicy. And it tastes good any time. It’s an easy recipe and I love baking up mini loaves and sharing with friends during the holiday season. It has become one of my most popular recipes…Grandmas always know best 🙂
