To me fall is the time of the year where a good pumpkin bread needs to be baked. Looking for a new recipe I stumbled over this spiced pumpkin bread with walnuts featured at Cooking Light. The spice mixture of allspice, nutmeg and cinnamon turn this simple bread into something special. It is super easy to assemble and in the oven in no time. The addition of the walnuts give this pumpkin bread an extra crunchy feature. I actually baked three loafs of this spiced pumpkin bread with walnuts, one to keep and two to share with friends. It was a good day!

Hallo Monika, ja, leider gibt es das Dosenkuerbispuree nicht in D. Musst Du dann selbst herstellen. Viel Spass bei Deinem Dinner!!
Das hoert sich sehr lecker an! Ich hab ja immer noch mein Pumpkin-Dinner mit meinen Freundinnen zu planen, aber da ich dauernd so leckere Rezepte finde, wird die Entscheidung immer schwerer, was ich letztendlich machen werde. Das Pumpkin-Brot steht jetzt auch auf der Liste…. 😉 Can pumpkin ist wahrscheinlich Kuerbis-Puerree, oder? Das gibt es hier glaube ich nicht, aber dann koennte ich ja auch ein Puerree selber machen.
Vielen Dank auch für die “Geburtstags”glueckwuensche,
