Homemade Pumpkin Bread, a delicious, soft and quick to make bread with wonderful flavor. I had tasted pumpkin/banana bread from the cafe often and really liked it much.

Though i had baked banana bread at home often, recently only i started to bake this delicious pumpkin bread. It's a instant hit at home. They are super soft and mildly sweet, tastes best with cup of coffee/ tea. In the given recipe, you can increase the sugar quantity up to 1 cup for more sweet.

Here in today's recipe, you can use home made / store bought pumpkin puree. If you're using store bought pumpkin puree, it's quite thick than the home made, so if needed add couple of tbsp of milk to get the correct consistency of batter.

Serve this bread after couple of hours of baking, that's when the flavor get intensified and tastes best. The leftovers can be stored in refrigerator/freezer for later use. Microwave it for 20-30 secs and it tastes as good as fresh.
