Spiced Pumpkin Nut Bread

This bread came about because I had some pumpkin in the refrigerator.  That was my sign to make something from pumpkin and this bread is quite appealing.

The original recipe did not call for nuts but hubby loves nut breads so I tend to turn most quick breads into nut breads.  At the very last-minute, I dropped, on top of the bread, a hefty handful of chopped walnuts and mixed them in.  If you are not a nut lover, leave them out, and you will still have a great autumn bread.This is a Libby’s recipe which is adapted to the ingredients, on hand.
