Pumpkin Cranberry Walnut Bread

This is one of my favorite fall quick breads. It makes two loaves, so you can make one for yourself and give one to a friend. It also freezes well.

  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • ½ cup walnuts
  • 2 tbsp pepitas

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat oven to 350°

  • In the bowl of an electric mixer with a paddle attachment set on medium speed, beat together the butter and sugar
  • Beat in the pumpkin, eggs, and water

Notes

Try adding frozen whole cranberries instead of dried cranberries for a tart twist!
Pro Tip:  I always use freshly-grated nutmeg.  You can get whole nutmeg at specialty spice shops and a microplane for grating.
