Spiced Winter Squash Bread – A Fall/Winter Treat!

I love making sweet bread to gift to people. This squash bread will definitely be on my list!It’s dense, moist, and full of yummy flavor. I really like this bread. The squash makes it come out so incredibly moist and flavorful. It really is a game changer for other breads like banana and pumpkin. This recipe gets two thumbs up! My husband and kiddos really liked it, too. They didn’t even know that squash was in it and just thought I had made a pumpkin loaf 🙂
