Pumpkin Bread and Muffies…Yes, Please!

The wind is blowing in our fall weather and baking anything with pumpkin was just the ticket to warm up the Carondelet Kitchen.  It is also the time of year I get to use my Nordic Ware cake let pan in the shapes of acorns, leaves and pinecones.  I’ll use my pumpkin and wheat loaf pan soon which has a cornucopia of fall items in it as well. 

I have to say I feel in love with the pans first.  I appreciate the artisanship of the pans and I know they will be around for a long time.  Plus, I get the bonus of eating food in fun fall shapes and sizes. 
​
To further instill my love of Nordic Ware, I found the perfect recipe in their Spiced Pumpkin Loaf  .  It holds the perfect spice profile for fall and works so well in their bakeware.  Time to grab a steaming cup of coffee and butter for another slice of this delicious pumpkin loaf!
