This is a recipe from Art’s mom and it has always been a favorite of his. Like most quick breads this is dense, moist, and super flavorful.
And, if you ever cut into a loaf and realize it’s lighter than it should be because you left the can of pumpkin sitting on your counter at home instead of adding it to the batter… well, it makes a delicious pumpkinless spice bread as well. Not that I know from experience or anything. ;)
