Holiday Pumpkin Bread Recipe

This is a tasty and easy pumpkin bread recipe for Thanksgiving and the winter months. It’s classic and gives you that cozy holiday feeling. It is typically made with walnuts but you can spice it up any way you’d like. We suggest chocolate chips, raisins, cranberries, or your favorite nuts. We love to have this fresh and hot out of the oven because the bread is still so soft and fluffy and the chocolate chips are little molten sweet spots. So delicious and definitely elicits that snuggly winter feeling that the holidays tend to evoke in us.

Here is the recipe to holiday joy to share with your friends and family!
