1 ⅛ cups unsalted butter

Notes

Remember to preheat your oven!
Make sure you have pumpkin purée and NOT pumpkin pie filling.
Get the eggs and butter out a few hours prior to baking to ensure the ingredients will be room temperature.
When you add the pumpkin and eggs, the mixture will break. This is okay! It will come back together when you stir in the dry ingredients.
Be sure to cover the loaf about 50-55 minutes into cook time with foil. This prevents over-browning while it finishes baking!
You can make this recipe into two small loaves, if you would like. Cook times will need to be adjusted.
Use a cake tester to see when this bread is done! If it comes out clean, the bread is done baking.
