When the first loaf of pumpkin bread comes out of the oven, you will know that fall has arrived! Full of pumpkin flavor, hint of spice, and all the moisture. Sweet, but a pinch of salt that keeps you wanting another bite.
My mom would make this pumpkin bread only in the autumn months, so when I take a bite I’m transported back to that time in life. Sunny, warm, but you still need a denim jacket because there’s a chill in the air. The leaves from our big tree in the front yard are falling, but not on the ground for long because dad is raking them up as fast as they fall. You can hear school buses passing our house, as kids are being dropped off after school. I can smell the warm loaf of pumpkin bread being taken out of the oven, and my mom gets out a few small white plates for us to enjoy it together.
If my mom was making pumpkin bread one afternoon, it was always gone within 24 hours. We would eat a slice for our breakfast before school, and then would also rush home to have another slice as our after-school snack. Truth be told, it's even better and more moist on day 2.
Cory requests this year-round, but I only make it during the autumn months just like my mom to keep it an extra special seasonal treat. It also makes a perfect gift! Bake a few mini loaves in aluminum pans, wrap in cellophane, and tie with a bow!
