Pumpkin Loaf

I bought a whole pumpkin in wet market during the weekend shopping thinking of making pumpkin sweet soup..but i never made one. The pumpkin was sitting in my kitchen counter for almost 2 days now when i opted to bake pumpkin loaf for our breakfast. This is a very simple and easy pumpkin loaf recipe which can be done in a jiffy without using hand/stand mixer.

While the baking going on the oven, the whole house smelled heavenly with the sweet fragrance of the pumpkin spice. You can opt for brown sugar to replace with the granulated white sugar for more intense depth flavor but i'm happy with the flavor of granulated sugar as well. This is moist,dense and bursting with pumpkin flavor loaf make an ideal breakfast treat.
