I've been making Pumpkin Bread all season long. Like a crazy person. Seriously, about once a week. It is so delicious with a hot cup of coffee in the morning. I'm not a big breakfast person, but this is everything I want in the morning. I warm it up with a little butter spread on top and enjoy it with my coffee on the back porch. I've been packing it with nutritional value by making it with lots of walnuts, pecans, pumpkin (obviously) and going a little light on the sugar. I've even made it with gluten free flour... my first experiment. I have to say, the bread is so rich and dense, and full of flavor that the flour texture is easily overlooked.
