So my To Do lists are thorough, detailed, and thoughtfully crafted. My execution of the To Do lists is subpar. Ok, not even subpar. Like nonexistent. I haven’t done anything to prepare for my trip. Maybe I’m a bit overwhelmed by my To Do list. Maybe I don’t even know where to start.
Well, pumpkin bread was on my list, so I suppose I can go check that one off! canigetawhoopwhoop.
I have a hard time with pumpkin bread. Probably because I’ve had some seriously delicious pumpkin bread and muffins in my life and so to make a gluten free one that measures up is quite the feat.
My goal was to make it moist and have that iconic pumpkin flavor. You know those breads that you scarf down with your coffee can eat for breakfast? The ones that are perfect with a glass of cold milk or coffee or almond milk? Yep. That’s what this is. A perfect breakfast, lunch, snack, dessert, any time of day bread.
True test: Jaryd just came home from work. Went straight to the kitchen. Ate it the pumpkin bread and exclaimed with delight about its deliciousness. No joke, this just happened. He exclaimed.

Made this today and it was AMAZING!!! Perfect texture, perfect pumpkiny flavour, beautifully spiced and super easy to make! All in one bowl . I made pumpkin soup yesterday so i had fresh roasted pumpkin left over, pureed that and used it instead of canned. I deleted a bunch of my other pumpkin loafs that i had pinned after making this one. WINNER!!
