HOLIDAY PUMPKIN NUT BREAD
My son starts asking for this pumpkin bread before Thanksgiving. I make 2 or 3 batches every week between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Closer to Christmas I make tons for friends, neighbors and my hubbys golf buddys!!! This is probably my favorite thing to make for the Christmas holidays. Tie it with red and green ribbon and it makes a sweet gift.

Tips:
- Use Fresh Pumpkin: Using fresh pumpkin puree, not canned, gives the bread a more vibrant flavor and texture. To make homemade pumpkin puree, roast a pumpkin until tender, then scoop out the flesh and blend until smooth.
- Season the Bread Well: Don't be afraid to add plenty of spices to the bread, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. This will give it a warm, autumnal flavor.
- Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined, then stop.
- Bake the Bread Until a Toothpick Inserted in the Center Comes Out Clean: This is the best way to ensure that the bread is cooked through.
- Let the Bread Cool Completely Before Slicing: This will help the bread to hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.
Conclusion:
Pumpkin Nut Bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for fall. With its moist texture, warm spices, and crunchy nuts, it's a bread that everyone will enjoy. Whether you're serving it for breakfast, lunch, or a snack, Pumpkin Nut Bread is sure to be a hit.
