Sad as I am to say goodbye to summer’s bounty (especially the tomatoes…), there is considerable consolation in the foods that fall has to offer. Like pumpkins! Although I grew up carving them, not eating them, I have since come to appreciate pumpkin’s hearty, sweet flavor which is good in both sweet and savory forms.
The recipe for this quick batter bread is from one of my favorite cookbooks, Recipes From The Root Cellar
The result is gooood. A sweet, rich, moist loaf with just the right amount of spice and flavor. Excellent plain and even better toasted and spread with butter (or Earth Balance) or some cream cheese.
This recipe calls for butter but if you don’t eat dairy, there are many others out there that use oil instead of butter. I used canned pumpkin but you can also use leftover squash purees (and the more the better if they’re already flavored or spiced) or make your own pumpkin puree if you’ve got the time. If you do that, just remember to seek out a pumpkin that is meant for eating like the sugar pie pumpkin below — the ones meant for carving would taste really gross!
