Sometimes Zoey and I get distracted on our cooking adventures. For example, this weekend I was looking up recipes to make stuffing from scratch for the Iron Chef Challenge. After realizing that stuffing is mostly bread, celery, carrots and spices I decided that if I was going to make stuffing I was also going to have to make the bread from scratch.
Somehow I came across a recipe for pumpkin bread and the next thing I knew Zoey was sniffing a can of pumpkin and I was in the kitchen mixing ingredients. You can see the complete recipe by clicking on the link above.
I didn't even end up making the stuffing because the bread was so good we just ate that plain. I figured I couldn't enter the challenge this week if I ate all the stuffing bread before I had time to actually turn it into something.
Here is everything all mixed up and in the loaf pan:
I only cooked this for 45 minutes and it was done. This bread was sweet like a dessert bread and it didn't last long enough to make stuffing from it. It was a little sweet for my tastes, so next time I will add less sugar.
This did earn an A+ on the taste scale which is pretty good for not having any added fat or oil. If you are looking for a pumpkin bread recipe, Zoey and I suggest giving this one a try!
Oh, and I added some cinnamon on the top, in case you were wondering what the brown spots are. Next time I will skip the cinnamon and add dry oats to the top instead!

It looks like Zoey is inspecting that can for good quality.
This bread looks so yummy, thanks for the link to the recipe!
Thanks for the recipe! I've been looking for a low-fat pumpkin bread and this looks perfect. And it's Zoey approved, how could it be better?
I made that pumpkin bread also and thought it was a little bit too sweet, too... But it was really good, so your picture has me craving it. :-)
You and Zoey are so clever! That Bread looks divine!
