I absolutely love pumpkin! Is it only me or does anyone else feel excited, when they spot counters at the supermarket, stacked with little and bigger squashs? They come in so many shapes and varieties and each flavour is so unique. And you can use them for all different kinds of recipes…for example this pumpkin spice bread!

The idea of adding veg to a sweet recipe is great. I love to use pumpkins, as they bring along a subtle sweet note and smoothness. In fact combinded with spices you can turn them into a real winner for dessert ingredients!

AAAAANNNNDDD they are what makes this pumpkin bread super fudgy!!! Plus it calls for really simple ingredients (I took notes for substitutions, if some of the ones I used are not available/ too expensive) and yet tastes utterly delicious. I used a mix of spelt and all-purpose flour, but you can make it with both types on their own.

Combine it with a cup of hot coffee or your favourite tea, invite some friends over or enjoy it to yourself- whatever option you choose, it will be a match made in heaven!!! And as with any other recipe you find on here- please feel free to leave a comment how you like it and tag me on instagram, so i can see your beautiful creation!

ENJOY AND HAPPY BAKING!
