Tried this tea bread with the balance of pumpkin after cooking pumpkin rice. The squash helps the loaf stay deliciously moist and the cinnamon blends well with the pumpkin flavour.
Yummy ....... easy to make, yet easier to eat

That looks very moist and healthy. I would definitely love that. But if I make I'll leave out the cinnamon cos my family dislike it. Thanks for sharing

Yup, some people dislike cinnamon, I wasn't up to it before, but after reading about the goodness of cinnamon, I've grown to like it,bit by bit. It's supposed to lower cholesterol.

I just ransacked my fridge and found cranberries and sultanas, so decided to try out with cranberries. Didn't regret though!
Looks moist, I bet the slightly sour taste of the cranberry adds a nice balance to the sweetness of the bread, and richness of the pumpkin purée.
ReplyDeleteThe bread looks really moist due to the pumpkin. I bet it tasted absolutely wonderful and I love cinnamon!
ReplyDeleteMmmm, will try this if I can get hold of dried cranberries, Nice!
