After trial an error I was able to accomplish the perfect, moist, flavorful, yet not too sweet, pumpkin bread recipe. Perfect for the holidays with a cold glass of milk. Unlike other recipes, I chose to add cocoa and vanilla extract because the smell of the pumpkin puree was overpowering. The mix needed a balance, a more delightful smell and taste.
