Holiday Pumpkin Bread is another Holiday favorite. I make it in the fall and around Thanksgiving. Come Christmas time, I add a little extra flavor to give it that “Christmas” taste. What is that little extra flavor – Rum. I love to toast a thick slice of this bread, slather it with butter and enjoy it with my coffee. It also goes great with afternoon tea or coffee. Here is a couple of other loaves of bread that I love to make. Banana Nut Bread with Chocolate Chips and a Butternut Squash Bread with Chocolate.

What makes this bread so YUM?
If you are vegan, you will love this recipe. If you aren’t vegan you will also love this recipe. The pumpkin pie spice and rum flavorings are the heart and soul of this bread. I also used one of my organic grown pie pumpkins. The purchased puree will also work if you don’t have a pie pumpkin. This is a great way to use up the last of the pumpkins from the fall.
