Pumpkin Nutella Swirl Bread

I've never been a huge fan of pumpkin bread. I like zucchini bread and love banana bread, but pumpkin never really did it for me. That is, until last fall, when I tried Two Peas and Their Pod's Nutella Pumpkin Bread. I never would have thought to pair a chocolate hazelnut spread with pumpkin. It just doesn't seem right, but believe me, it's so right. The Nutella swirl gives the bread just enough sweetness and it stays creamy so it's just like you spread the Nutella right on each slice.

Peanut Butter Glazed Banana Bread

Fall is fast approaching and for me that means the smell of fallen leaves, wood stoves, boots, sweaters and fall foods. One of those fall foods is quick bread... banana, pumpkin, apple, zucchini, no matter the flavor, it's a fall staple.

Since I went a little overboard in buying bananas last week, I had a bunch of brown bananas that needed to be put to good use. I found this recipe for banana bread in a past issue of Cooking Light. I was intrigued by the peanut butter banana combination and the idea of glazing a quick bread. I had to substitute a few of the ingredients due to what I had on hand in the kitchen, so I'm sad to say the bread probably isn't as light as the original.
