Pumpkin Gingerbread Loaves

Wonderfully flavorful and fragrant bread for the holidays. These loaves are amazing. They are my most requested holiday gift.

I have made several versions but the gluten free version seems to be the favorite. This is a very easy recipe to make with your children as well. It is straightforward, requires regular old kitchen equipment, and makes for some great “batter taste testing.” So enjoy a fun morning with your wee-ones, making delicious gifts for family and friends
