Pumpkin Loaf – There’s nothing spooking about this pumkin loaf
It’s pumpkin season all over the world and pumpkin goes with everything. There are pumpkin salads, pumpkin-spiced lattes and the favourite pumpkin pie. But did you know that you can make a pumpkin loaf too? Our Pumpkin Loaf recipe is delicious and perfect for Halloween season. You can serve slices with tea, as a dessert or snack at home or to your friends.
Pumpkin is a very versatile vegetable which fits very well into almost any type of meal. Butternut soup as a starter, in a salad or roasted with a main. But we love it as a sweet treat too. Our Pumpkin Loaf is light and fluffy with a great combination of sweet and savoury flavours. Each slice can be eaten without any toppings, however, a smear of butter or a dollop of sweetened cream cheese or whipped cream turns this pumpkin loaf into the best alternative loaf out there.
Find your comfiest seat, take a sip of your pumpkin-spiced latte and have a bite of this delicious pumpkin loaf for the best sweet treat out there.
