Delicious Pumpkin Bread

Got this recipe for pumpkin bread made with fresh pumpkin from my mom. This easy, quick bread recipe with walnuts (or raisins!) comes together in just minutes with either boiled, steamed, or roasted fresh pumpkin. If you don't have cooked pumpkin, just use canned instead.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 7x3-inch loaf pans.

Remove from the oven and set pans on a wire rack. Let cool completely before slicing.
