This version of the pumpkin gingerbread recipe is full of warm spices and a little healthier than most recipes! I’m about to share something near and dear to my heart. Pumpkin Gingerbread I cannot tell you how much I love this recipe. It’s such an easy recipe but makes a delicious loaf with lots of warm flavor. It’s not overly sweet and it’s not overly heavy.
