I love pumpkin treats. Pumpkin is such a fantastic flavor and can be made so much more complex with seasoning and additions. Pumpkin bread is one of my favorite things to make. So easy to throw together, stick in the oven, and just walk away. It makes the house smell fantastic and makes a great gift. Quick breads are great because they can be frozen and pulled out to give away or grace a sweets table. To freeze just wrap the loaf thoroughly in plastic wrap and place in a zip top bag. Loaves thaw wonderfully and taste just as great as they did fresh. 
This recipe is great because it is low-fat but full of flavor. The original recipe covers the top with pepitas but I didn’t have any so I left them off. This bread is really moist and has a great deep flavor from the spices. I will definitely be making this again and again.
