Pumpkin Bread

I used the last of the pumpkin puree that I had in the freezer to make pumpkin bread for when my grandparents came into town.  The recipe makes two loaves.  One was used for breakfast with the abuelos and the other for my in-laws for a dessert! I still can't believe how much I like this bread and it is so surprising because I never would have thought of pumpkin bread! I will continue to make pumpkin bread as long as I have access to pumpkin!
