Welcome to our new favorite pumpkin bread recipe. Inspired by Marigold in Rome, it has everything we love about a classic loaf of pumpkin bread (perfectly moist, just the right amount of sweet, and the perfect amount of pumpkin) with a few twists. This pumpkin bread is perfect for breakfast, a quick snack, or even dessert.
We’ve used extra virgin olive oil for the fat, which gives the pumpkin bread amazing flavor without being overpowering. The glaze takes a whole 10 seconds to make, and once topped with pistachios it’s equal parts beautiful and delectable. We highly recommend serving each slice with salted room-temperature butter.
