I remember every fall when my grandmother would make the most amazing bread. Pumpkin was one of her favorites and mine too. This recipe makes 3 loaves of pumpkin bread which allows you to share with your friends and family or just keep all to yourself!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Doesn't the title of this pumpkin bread recipe alone make you hungry?! The flavors of pumpkin and maple are an amazing blend in this moist bread. Then, when you take a bite, add in the creamy texture of the cream cheese filling. Yum! We also loved the mixture of nuts and raisins. A great dessert for fall (but it's so good you may make this year around).
