Homemade pumpkin bread recipe with walnuts and raisins. Easy and delicious recipe for this holiday season.
We make a lot of banana bread throughout the year in this house. Banana bread for the weekends. Banana muffins for school mornings. Thankfully the kids never tire of it.
But when the cooler weather starts to come around I’m ready to bring in some new flavors. And pumpkin bread with walnuts and raisins has taken the banana breads place. Filling our home with the smell of fall and all the cozy-ness that goes with it.

In the mornings I can hear the kids lift the lid off of the glass loaf pan and place it as quietly as they can on the countertop. One of them shuffles though the refrigerator for some butter and about two minutes later everything is left on the counter.
Crumbs, butter, plates, silverware. A true sign that little ones have invaded the kitchen.
This pumpkin bread recipe is made easy with %100 canned pumpkin and simple ingredients you’ll most likely already have on hand.
