Spiced Pumpkin Bread
This Spiced Pumpkin Bread is a classic and simple, and not overly sweet. It can be enjoyed with a cup of coffee at breakfast or after dinner as a festive treat!

- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda

- add eggs, pumpkin puree, and vanilla and mix until well combined
- whisk in flour, spices, baking soda, baking powder, salt until combined (no not over mix!)
- pour mixture into greased pans and cook for 45 min- 60 min (use toothpick to test the center, insert a wooden toothpick near the center of the bread, it is done when the toothpick comes out clean)
