So I’m a week late for Halloween, but guess what’s right around the corner? You bet…it’s the Holiday season for sure. And man oh man do I have a short cut for you. Do you or your family enjoy pumpkin muffins/bread? This is THE best and easiest combination ever. And if you don’t have a Trader Joe’s in your hood, well guess where you can secure the mix…that’s right, from the Bezos machine. Quite convenient. Truthfully, it will delight you. I’m all about short cuts, and this is THE best one ever! Knock yourself out and enjoy!

All you need is:
1 box Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Bread and Muffin Mix
Eggs
Water
Oil
Brown Sugar as a Bonus Mix ingredient.
Bake according to instructions.
Sprinkle with brown sugar immediately upon removing from oven.

Here’s your destination for holiday inspiration! SO happy to have a full house for the week of Thanksgiving, that I’m doing things now that can successfully be completed in advance. Admittedly the kitchen is my sanctuary most of the time, but I want to get out there and play with my gang..driveway hockey, big wheels, Heads Up, Hardee Pardee, and who knows what else. This is a fab breakfast bread. Bonus…it freezes fabulously (I tested that). Now just sit back and wait for the oohs and aahs. Note: Recipe doubles beautifully. And, I made a pan of mini loaves as well (see pic below) reducing baking time to 25 minutes. Can’t wait for the smiles!

2 cups all purpose flour, divided
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 t cinnamon
1/4 t nutmeg
1/8 t ground cloves
1 T baking powder
1/4 t baking soda
1/4 t salt
1 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 cup milk
1/3 cup butter, melted
2 eggs

Preheat oven to 350°.
Combine 1 cup flour and all other ingredients in mixing bowl.
Beat with electric mixer at low speed until blended.
Increase speed to high for 2 minutes.
Gradually add remaining flour while on low speed until well blended.
Pour batter into greased 9 x 5 loaf pan.
Bake 50 to 55 minutes, until knife inserted comes out clean.

Slice and savor!
