We love hearing how our customers use SAVAGE BEE-CHES honey in their kitchens—and sometimes, we get really lucky. Our dear customer @foreldet recently picked up a jug of our lush Meadowfoam Honey and turned it into something truly magical: Pumpkin Bread two ways.

She not only shared her recipe, she also brought us two whole loaves to enjoy with our neighbors and friends at Lost Cities Beads. Trust us—this recipe tastes like a warm hug: decadent and cozy, yet simple enough to whip up on a weeknight.

Best of all, she gave us two recipe versions: one indulgent and one a bit lighter. We highly recommend trying both!

🍯 Why Meadowfoam?

Our Meadowfoam Honey has natural notes of vanilla and toasted marshmallow—perfectly complementing the warm spices in pumpkin treats. It gives this creation a rich sweetness and moist texture you just won’t get from sugar alone.
