Chelle's Pumpkin Bread image

A great holiday favorite- I got this from an old Betty Crocker cookbook and make it along with my Recipe #195728 and Recipe #195714 in mini loaves for the holidays! I generally get 6 mini loaves from this recipe and they bake for 33 minutes for me without any changes to the recipe. Easy, fun, crowd pleasing recipes! Enjoy!
