Easy Pumpkin bread is so easy it should be illegal. This bread has amazing flavours and even improves with age, so plan to make it a day ahead if possible. Serve as part of a brunch or as a snack with a smudge of butter for an amazing flavour. This simple bread has dairy, eggs, vegetables, nuts, raisins and spices which combine in perfection.
