Tis the season — for pumpkin bread, and that’s a good reason to be jolly. Nothing quite captures the culinary spirit of the holidays on the table like these slightly spicy, deeply rich loaves.

But let’s not make the same old pumpkin bread again this year, even though — sure — it’s good and — yes — it came from Grandma. There’s just too many great ways to make and serve pumpkin bread to not add a few of these great recipes to the repertoire.

And not all bread is bread. Like this great recipe for pumpkin seed breadsticks. We can even imagine having them with Italian food. Maybe some nice pumpkin ravioli. Truth is, these sticks go best with soup or salad, and the secrets is in the seeds.

Did you even imagine pumpkin bread could work for dessert? Well, it can, as this recipe for pumpkin bread pudding souffle handily proves. Wait until you taste the rich eggy challah loaf that forms the basis of this bread, which, by the way, gets a nice little kick from bourbon, although that ingredient is optional.

Don’t worry about sacrificing the jack o’ lantern in the window, either. These recipe for pumpkin bread are quick and easy, thanks to canned pumpkin. The hard work has already been taken care of.
