Today I am sharing a super yummy recipe for pumpkin cranberry nut bread. I haven’t made this recipe for awhile, and I forgot how much I love it! We were out of milk a couple mornings ago, so cereal was totally not an option. If we would have had bread, toast would have worked. But alas, no bread either.
So I scoured my recipes for something with no milk, and came across this pumpkin bread recipe. I made some into muffins, and my family scarfed them so fast that I actually made another batch the very next day. They are moist and delicious!

The orange zest makes them a little different from most pumpkin recipes, and it is a yummy twist. You can make pumpkin bread or muffins, I am including the baking directions for both.
