Pumpkin Bread     Print this Recipe

Comments

Another Kid Kritics hit.

Breads take time to bake so bake it ahead of time.  Freeze it if necessary, until you are ready to serve it. On cold winter afternoons, kids like to sink their teeth into something warm that fills their tummies!

FYI: For kids who won't vegetables or nuts, this is a way to sneak some into their bodies. There is a fair amount of sugar in this bread so watch portion sizes!
