Author Notes
This pumpkin bread is a slight variation of a recipe that my mom has made for many years. Its the perfect after Thanksgiving dinner ending. I use mini loaf pans but regular size loaf pans, muffins pans, or mini bundt cake pans would also work. The maple walnut glaze really takes the bread to another level. This of course can be omitted- but why would you want to?! —NiniPanini
