I tend to live in la-la land once in awhile, but I don't agree to it openly. If you ask Jose about it, he might completely disagree. He thinks I live in la-la land all the time!
Looks like I’m not alone… last month I got a sms from a clothing brand. It started with this statement “Winter is here”. At that time the temperature was still 36 C / 96.8 F!
A visit to the mall around that time also confirmed my belief, am not the only one in la-la land. All the mannequins were donning hardcore winter jackets complete with knee high boots, scarves, gloves and woollen hats.
Looks like, it’s not just the clothing stores. A visit to the coffee shop last week and their black boards are filled with “Fall Special” Pumpkin Lattes, Pumpkin Spice Mocha and what not! Well, what disappointed me was that, their “Fall Special” was just limited to drinks. I had tried a Pumpkin based coffee last year with so much eagerness and excitement, but it wasn't just my cup of tea …errr coffee.
After seeing all those “fall specials” and “pumpkin spice” drinks, not to mention the constant images of Pumpkin bread in many forms and variations on my insta/pinterest and FB, I decided to join the la-la land team officially and bake a Pumpkin bread.
Fall special or not, I like Pumpkin bread and I’ve already shared a recipe for Pumpkin Streusel Cake with you. This time, I wanted to try the basic Pumpkin Bread. Also, I was craving for a plain homemade cake for sometime, see the Universe does conspire to make things happen ;)
The recipe is simple, easy, quick and straightforward. You just need a whisk and some pumpkin puree and you are all set. We both liked this very much and had it for evening tea one day and for breakfast the next day.
The bread is moist with tender crumbs. The flavour of pumpkin, cinnamon and chocolate works really well and I just love that golden hue of this lovely bread.
I do hope, you too will like it and trust me you don't need to have a “Fall Season” to enjoy this bread.

Btw, I’m waiting for it to snow in my la-la land ;)
