What a great idea. I've only ever made pumpkin pie, but this looks much nicer.
I thought it had a touch too much groundc cloves for me – next timer I will add half the amount. It was a really moist loaf though.
Yummy, I need some of this for breakfast Heidi.
It is great toasted too Bintu!
Mmmmmm, I do adore pumpkin & spice flavoured everything, so this is right up my flavour street!
The whole house smelled festive when it was in the oven!
looks super delicious
Tasted fantastic too Linsy.
I'm with Janice, sounds much nicer than pumpkin pie.
Pumpkin pie is an acquired taste, something you just kind of grow up with in the states, this is a great loaf to have in the freezer for unexpected breakfast guests!
