Baked Pumpkin Bread

I freaking LOVE pumpkin. Around this time, I try to make everything I can with it. I decided to start the season off basic...with pumpkin bread. I have a recipe in my arsenal for a pretty awesome pumpkin bread, but I decided to try something different and found a recipe on All Recipes for a little bit healthier pumpkin bread. I took it one step further and used half whole wheat pastry flour.

It turned out really well! But I've had better...nonetheless, it was a great start for a healthier pumpkin bread. I guess having eaten about half of it on my own already in just a couple of days, goes to show either my complete lack of self control or a rather delicious pumpkin bread!
