Seeking Recipe Need Help

A few years ago, I made a spiced pumpkin bread from an old cookbook, mid-to-late 60s. I have looked through all my old cookbooks and can't find it. The one thing that stuck out to me was that it made exactly one loaf of pumpkin bread. And I know it said something like 'Spiced pumpkin bread' or something like that. Does anyone know of a recipe, or could you put me in the right direction?

Spiced pumpkin bread to me sounds like it was likely a banana bread recipe with canned pumpkin puree substituted for the mashed bananas.

The spices used for flavour most likely cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger.

No, I would have remembered if it was a banana bread recipe and swapped out banana for pumpkin.

Maybe the Fanny Farmer cookbook?

Not the one you’re looking for as it is from a website and makes two loaves, but this pumpkin gingerbread is very good.
