Pumpkin Pie Pumpkin Bread

• 1 stick Butter, Softened
• 1-1/2 cup Brown Sugar
• 2 whole Large Eggs
• 1 can Pumpkin Puree (15 Oz.)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla
• 1-1/2 cup All-purpose Flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 Tablespoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
• Chopped Nuts (optional)

1. Grease or butter a 9x5 loaf pan and preheat oven to 350F.
2. In a large bowl with a hand mixer, cream butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs, then pumpkin puree and vanilla.
3. Sift dry ingredients if you want to get fancy (I don't, so I won't tell) into the bowl with the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix. Add nuts if desired (I do this with my rubber spatula as I'm getting ready to turn out my batter into the prepared pan).
4. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 1 hour or until an inserted knife comes out clean.
5. This is fabulous on its own, and even better with a dollop of whipped cream or Cool Whip.
