Spicy Pumpkin Bread

I got off work early today, so I decided to make some pumpkin bread. I could only locate one of my loaf pans, so I ended up making a pan of muffins as well. I'm not sure where the original recipe came from because I copied it from an email quite some time ago.

This bread is awesome! It has just the right mix of spicy and sweet.
