Pumpkin Bread with crumb topping

First I want to thank you all for your Tooth Fairy help. I think I am shooting for $2 a tooth. Fair enough I think.

Second, a HUGE thank you to Jennifer at The Speedy Gourmet. She wanted to see if I had a “button on my blog” so she could put it up on her blog. When I told her I had no clue how to get one of those fancy buttons, she did it for me!!! How nice is that!?? Since my logo is a bit long, it got squeezed in translation. However a button is a button and it is awesome that Jennifer took the time to do it for me!
So if it were dying to have one of my buttons for your blog, well here ya have it! But don’t go steeling my logo for your personal use..it is currently being Trademarked!! πŸ™‚ My Lawyer will hunt you down! LOL LOL LOL

Now on to the yum.
Don’t you just love when you are craving something, then throw it together and it works wonderfully?
I made this pumpkin bread a few months ago (you have no clue how behind I am on posting).
I must say, it was perfect. Well anything with a crumb topping is perfect if you ask me.
This bread is super duper moist, sweet but not too sweet and ultra comforting. I took my banana bread recipe and mixed it up a bit. Sure you could roast your own pumpkin and puree it. But when I made this bread, it was not pumpkin season and there were no pumpkins to be had.

  62. ***STACY***

    Thank you for your question.
    I have not made them into cupcakes yet. But I am sure they would be just delicious. Just adjust the baking time..I would say about 25-30 minutes..Just test with a toothpick.
