Pumpkin bread is one of my all time favorite fall recipes! Sadly these type of quick breads can be really unhealthy...lots of oil and sugar. This recipe has half the sugar of a normal one and only a little oil! And the best part is that you will never notice a difference, that is how good it is! Throw in a handful of chocolate chips to make it a tasty dessert!
