Pumpkin Bread

"This is a pumpkin bread recipe my mom always made. This freezes well, so you can make a lot and save. My mom uses 1 tsp cinnamon, but I like it with more. I use about 3 tsp cinnamon."

  1. This bread is delicious. It is just like the recipe that Juanessa posted here except her's has a little ginger in in. I found the recipe a couple of years ago on AllRecipes...it had over 500 ratings at that time. I use it every year around Thanksgiving and Christmas. Made for Zaar 123 Tag. My family really enjoyed it. Thanks for posting!
     
  2. This made 2 lovely moist pumpkin breads. Everybody who tasted it loved it! Made exactly as written and they needed the full cooking time. I might cut down on the sugar next time by half a cup but that is only because I find everything quickly too sweet, so its a peronal choice.
     
  3. Although I have my mom's recipe for this kind of bread, there are enough differences that I was interested in trying this one, & I'm glad I did! This is a VERY TASTY PUMPKIN BREAD! I even increased the cinnamon to a slightly rounded 2 teaspoons, & another time I might increase the baking time about 10 minutes of so 'cause I don't mind the beginnings of a crust! Thanks for sharing your mom's recipe! [Made & reviewed while touring Canada on the Zaar World Tour 4]

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I joined Recipezaar to learn new recipes that are home cooked. I grew up having ready-meals like Encor and Stouffers and needed recipes that don't simply require opening a box and plopping in the oven! I enjoy cooking when I have the time to try new dishes. I make every recipe as written if I'm reviewing it to give a true review. If I make alterations that aren't in the directions, I don't feel it's a true reflection of the recipe; it's another recipe to me. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/participantbannerzwt5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b367/chefpaulag/final-1.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/captain.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/329769/ninja%20bmp.jpg" width=75%> (Zaar World Tour 4) <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg"> <a href="http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/?action=view&current=cunningcrocodiles.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/cunningcrocodiles.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/DSC_0020.jpg"> (Australia/New Zealand Swap #15)
