Notes
TIFFY’S TIPS:
- This recipe can be made gluten free using this gluten free multipurpose flour!
- When a recipe calls to “fold in” an ingredient, this just means gently stirring in a figure 8 motion.
- For a seasonal touch, I prepare the recipe in this fall-inspired loaf pan!
- Freeze loaves for the holidays! Wrap loaf in foil, plastic wrap, or place in an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months.
- Substitute walnuts or chocolate chips for the pecans.
- A loaf of this pumpkin bread makes for great holiday gifts.
