Pumpkin Bread

You want to know what makes this pumpkin bread special? And soft. And fluffy. And just perfect?

The yogurt, the coconut oil, and the butter. It’s a magical combination that makes the perfect pumpkin bread. Also, the lemon extract adds a nice citrus pop to the fall and pumpkin flavors. If you don’t have lemon extract, you could use lemon juice…but you won’t get the same lemon-y flavor throughout the bread.

Happy Pumpkin-Bread-Baking!!!

P.S. These are a great and simple homemade gift idea for friends and neighbors that also freeze well!
