Chelle's Pumpkin Bread

---

A great holiday favorite- i got this from an old betty crocker cookbook and make it along with my recipe #195728 and recipe #195714 in mini loaves for the holidays! I generally get 6 mini loaves from this recipe and they bake for 33 minutes for me without any changes to the recipe. Easy, fun, crowd pleasing recipes! Enjoy!
