Can you believe it’s already September? When the leaves burn orange and gold, and there’s a crisp chill in the morning air, I know it’s time for one thing: baking!
This amazing pumpkin bread recipe comes courtesy of Brittany Crider, and is a beloved family favorite that she and her sister used to make with her grandmother.
This is no ordinary pumpkin bread – it has a cream cheese layer and streusel topping, but couldn’t be easier to whip up.
Enjoy!
