Sour Cream Pumpkin Bread

½ cup butter (or margarine)
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 ½ cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup pumpkin puree
½ cup sour cream or ½ cup plain yogurt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon nutmeg
 
Cream the butter and sugar together. Stir in the eggs and vanilla. Stir flour, baking soda, and salt together and add to the butter and sugar. Add the pumpkin, sour cream, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir.

Bake in a greased loaf pan at 350*F. for 1 hour. If using mini loaf pans, bake for about 45 minutes.
I used a spring form pan for about 40 minutes.
 
Variation:.

Substitute banana for the pumpkin, add 1/2 cup nuts, if desired, and leave out the cinnamon and nutmeg.

You may also substitute applesauce for the pumpkin, adding apple pie spice. Have fun!
