Notes

To enhance the flavor of your pumpkin bread, consider adding a handful of chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter before baking. Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep the bread light and fluffy. If you prefer a moister bread, try adding a tablespoon of Greek yogurt or sour cream to the wet ingredients.
