Notes
For muffins, fill 2/3 of the way and bake for about 20 minutes. I love pumpkin bread! It's my favorite homemade holiday dessert. The basic recipe came from my best friend's grandmother, but the recipe has evolved over the decades in our family into a luscious and spicy dessert. For those family members who don't have the time or talent for baking, it makes a tasty and thoughtful holiday gift. Enjoy!
