Greek Yogurt Pumpkin Bread

It's October and I haven't been posting pumpkin related goodies. I haven't been posting that much really. It's getting a bit hectic and I've been relying on quick easy meals and have not been experimenting that much.

Today though I went on a wonderful morning run by the river and when I came back, I wanted to make something to celebrate that amazing fall weather. I did not plan to make something special this week so I had to rely on what I had on hand. I ended up modifying my greek yogurt banana bread recipe for pumpkin instead. It turned out pretty well.

Also it's only 100 calories a slice.
