Pumpkin Pecan Bread

Pumpkin Pecan Bread

As we head towards the holidays you can be sure that one of the breads I will be filling my freezer with in this delicious pumpkin pecan bread. This recipe was shared by my step sister and it is every bit as delicious as her zucchini carrot bread recipe! Iโ€™m going to make a loaf for our thanksgiving table this year and another loaf or two for our freezer. Take advantage of the abundance of pumpkin available this time of year and fill your freezer with this delicious pumpkin pecan bread,

  3. I love having treats on hand in the freezer, Nancy, and a pumpkin bread that freezes well is always a good thing! Love the addition of the carrots for flavour, nutrition and texture. Sharing on the Hearth and Soul Facebook page later today. Thank you for being a part of the Hearth and Soul Link Party! I hope your week is starting off well.
