I wanted to use up more of the bran cereal and was looking for something different. While we love the bran breads and bran muffins I've made in the past, Ryan was ready for something a little different. I've been stocking up on pumpkin every time I go to the grocery store (have to take advantage while I can!), so I decided to incorporate that. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a pumpkin bran bread recipe. Instead, I decided to come up with my own, by looking at other bread/muffin recipes and adjusting accordingly. Luckily, this method worked and the result was a deliciously moist and perfectly spiced bread. This is a relatively healthy bread, without any butter and not a ton of sugar. It doesn't taste like a decadent dessert (like my banana bread!), but it's a perfect breakfast or snack treat.
