I’ve said before how much I adore pumpkin! I love this time of year because not only is it easier to get my fill of pumpkin but there is often time fresh pumpkin involved too! For the last five years or so on Thanksgiving morning I make pumpkin gingerbread and it’s always a hit.

There’s not a person that’s tried my pumpkin gingerbread that hasn’t liked it. To get an early start on Thanksgiving preparations and share the love with my husband’s coworkers, I whipped up a batch yesterday to send with him to work. If you love pumpkin and/or gingerbread, you’re going to love this pumpkin gingerbread recipe!
