Pretty Pleasing Pumpkin Bread

I make this bread during the Thanksgiving-Christmas season. I like to see people's expressions when they bite into this bread, as they are usually surprised that it is moist and not mundane! The still-uncommon ingredient is the addition of cinnamon chips (they reside next to the chocolate chips in the baked goods aisle of your grocery store). Read more I recently made this bread in mini-loaf paper bakeware pans purchased last year from Sur La Table on-line. When cooled, I wrapped them in saran wrap then in red cellophane, tied with a ribbon and tagged. They make great hostess gifts! Sorry my camera is pooping out on my 2008 pix! See less
