\"pumpkin<\/a><\/p>\n

Every fall, I get a craving for pumpkin pancakes, and I get all excited and look at recipes and pick one to try and get a lot of dishes dirty…and every time, I’m disappointed. This year I’ve finally come to the conclusion that while I love pumpkin-y things, and I love pancakes, I don’t love pumpkin pancakes<\/em>. The pumpkin makes the pancakes too dense, or something, and they never have the intensity of flavor I’m longing for. It turns out that what actually satisfies that craving is this pumpkin bread…it has a light, cake-like texture, and it’s extra full of cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg. And<\/em> it uses one bowl and a whole can of pumpkin –\u00a0you’re welcome.<\/em> Or is it just me getting unreasonably irritated at all these recipes that call for 1 cup of pumpkin, or worse,\u00a0half<\/em> a cup…what am I supposed to do with the rest of this can, besides feel guilty about it going to waste every time I open my fridge? Also – why\u00a0isn’t someone selling\u00a0pumpkin in 1-cup portions yet?<\/p>\n

Anyway. Pumpkin bread. I’ve made this at least half a dozen times, and it’s not just a fall recipe in our house. It’s spicy and sweet and delicious, with a loaf to keep and one to give away (or freeze!). We delivered one to neighbors with, you guessed it, a new baby, and I cut the other one into thirds intending to freeze the\u00a0chunks (for portion control, you know).<\/p>\n

…So far I still have the freezer bag sitting on the counter and\u00a0after a perfectly satisfying lunch was slicing into it and swiping salted butter on it and devouring it. So yeah. It’s dangerously good!<\/p>\nPrint<\/a>
