Pumpkin Spice Bread
"I went home with a friend in college around Christmas time and his mother was making this - it smells SO good when baking, and tastes even better! Definitely NOT low-fat... You can make it whatever size you want - muffins, small loaves, etc...anything works! Just make sure you reduce the baking time for smaller portions. They're great for holiday gifts for neighbors, co-workers, etc.!"

These were delicious! We made muffins and the flavor was perfect. Thanks for a great recipe, we'll be making these again! -
This was so good. My husband has requested it weekly :). Next time will be adding extra spices. -
This recipe is so easy and tastes great. The bread has a nice light texture. I changed the spices to my taste, using pumpkin pie spice and extra nutmeg, and it was awesome. -
I made this bread to give out for Christmas gifts. I made 20 mini loaves and this was loved by all! It was very moist and the taste was wonderful. It only took 40 minutes to cook because of the mini loaves. I froze them until it was time to give them out to teachers, friends, neighbors and family. Thanks for posting!

I'm a graduate student working on my thesis and a research associate, so I spend A LOT of time in the lab! This schedule means I don't have a lot of time to cook. Sometimes I'm in the lab by 6 am and I don't get home until 8 pm! I use this website to find a lot of fast, easy, and inexpensive make-ahead recipes that I can take to school and snack on throughout the week. This website is also great for posting recipes I've collected, so I don't have to remember where I wrote them down!
