The thing is: my can was pumpkin pie puree, and I couldn't find a healthy quick bread recipe that uses pumpkin pie puree. I took a stab at combining a few recipes and came up with this masterpiece. It's a moist, not too sweet, perfectly pumpkin flavored quick bread. I promise, you won't be disappointed (plus you'll use up that last can of pumpkin pie puree, so next year you can buy new again).
