Ok now onto this delicious recipe 🙂 When I think of pumpkin I automatically think of Halloween. All those cute little carved pumpkins sitting on porches and stairs. That is why this year I was bound and determined to finally use my pumpkin and bake a perfect (and festive!) pumpkin bread. I admit. Bread is not my thing. Whether it be simple or complex…it usually does not turn out for me. I don’t know why. Perhaps I’m just cursed? Well not this year ladies and gentleman! I have finally found a recipe that not only worked for me but tastes good too! Oh and another great thing about this this recipe….it has a crumble topping. I love crumble topping. No I swear. I do. Whether it be savory or sweet, if it’s crumbly I’m down 🙂
Ok so why should you make this bread? Here is a list of reasons:
1. It’s awesome
2. It has a crumble top
3. It’s moist and perfectly spiced
4. It’s awesome
Need I say anymore?
Enjoy!!!

Here are some really fun cupcakes we made this weekend. They are perfect for your annual Halloween party – everyone loves them! http://theheritagecook.com/?p=4799
This pumpkin bread looks delicious. I am not sure that I would make it for my kids for Halloween but I think it might be a nice treat for the other moms and me to go with our cups of coffee as we take the kids to trick or treating. I have been looking for Halloween Recipes and really cannot believe that it is at the end of this week. I work with Better Recipes so I am always reviewing recipes and baking. I love Halloween! Thanks for the recipe.
What an incredible looking banana bread! You cannot go wrong with crumb topping!
I meant to say pumpkin bread 😉
There’s just something about a crumble topping that gets me hooked too! It makes everything special! Not that this pumpkin bread needed it being that it’s packed with goodies already.
it’s a terrific loaf, brandy! crumbles draw me in every time.
I love pumpkin bread, and with that crumble on the top, yours looks delicious. Thanks for the link up:)
This sounds absolutely fantastic. Pumpkin in sweets is my favorite. I’ve been actually brainstorming a pumpkin cheesecake. I bet that would be pretty awesome!
PS – I think the crumbles on this bread are genius. That’s my favorite part of a muffin!

I thought I made a great pumpkin bread, but it doesn’t have a crumb topping. Great addition.
Just when I thought I have had it with bananas. It just got interesting again. Thanks.
