It is impossible to get through this busy time of year without cheating just a little… Right? I am totally guilty of cutting corners when rushed. A couple weeks ago I made a huge batch of scrumptious pumpkin bread out of the box (gasp!). I mixed the bread according to the box, but substituted pumpkin in exact proportion for the oil. It made the bread taste moist and completely homemade.
It may sound silly but giving up your perfection just a little can really help you celebrate well these coming months and I promise your bread will still taste great!
I also made a cinnamon buttered dip to go along with the bread and am sharing the recipe plus a cute way to package them together for favors today over at Project Wedding.

I absolutely LOVE these pictures, Victoria!!! Did you do the photography?
Rebecca, thanks! Yes, all the uncredited projects lately have been me behind the camera. I feel like I am learning so much every week and although not perfect it has been a lot of fun to learn a new skill set:)
What a genius substitution, and a delicious outcome!
I’ve never had pumpkin bread. I like pumpkin soup but not pumpkin pie – maybe I’ll like this? I’ll have to try.
My mother used to say her cookies were from a secret recipe when she made them from the box – she always made sure to read the ingredients on box and would say, just a little flour, oil, eggs and cinnamon…
Okay, that is so funny about your mom. Seriously! I need to use that line:)
Cinnamon butter dip?! Why have I never made this?! I need to get on that, haha!
I die over pumpkin bread :) looks delicious.
YUMM! I love the idea of cinnamon butter!
What a great idea! I’m actually making banana bread today but I’m out of my secret ingredient so I’m going to use pumpkin puree instead! Hopefully this shortcut turns out to be a good one :)
