Grand Champion Pumpkin Bread

This week I thought I would share with you a great recipe for pumpkin bread. I know it seems a little off season for this time of year but I had some cans of pumpkin that were just waiting to be make into something. It is always very moist and makes a great breakfast or brunch treat. I got this recipe from my boyfriend's Mom, Jayne. The recipe is quite large and makes 2 loaves so I always end up sharing it with people. I hope you enjoy it!
