Pumpkin Nutella Bread

Pumpkin bread is one of my favorite fall treats, and I especially love it because it’s a) quick and easy to make, and b) so adaptable to a variety of additional flavors. Case in point: this awesome Nutella-swirled version. I basically just took the recipe I used for my pumpkin butterscotch bread, threw in some Nutella, and let the combination do its magic. The result? A moist, yummy version of a classic. Now if only I could pry myself away from the pan and stop eating this stuff by the plateful…
