Walnut Coated Spicy Pumpkin Bread

"An old Cooking Light recipe. This combination of spices is wonderful. I don't recommend substituting pumpkin pie spice for the individual spices - it's not the same. Note to World Tour participants - I believe the ingredients are typical for the Western U.S. where walnuts are grown."

  1. This was very good and easy to make. Thanks again PanNan.
     
  2. Pretty good! My first try at pumpkin bread. I threw in some dried cranberries. I was trying to get more of a dense bread, but really, no complaints. And as someone else suggested, delicious with a spread of pumpkin butter.
     
  3. This is excellent pumpkin bread!! It's soft and moist and perfectly spiced--with less fat and calories than ususal! I scaled the recipe down to one loaf; used whole wheat pastry flour, sodium-free baking powder, and nonfat milk--and all of that worked well. Next time I may try adding a bit of orange zest--to see if we like it that way--but it's also wonderful the way it is! This is the pumpkin bread recipe I've been searching for! Thanks for sharing it PanNan!!
     
  4. SPICY and MOIST, even though it's relatively low in oil. I halved the recipe and baked in an 8x8x2 square pan for 26 minutes. I used nonfat milk and freshly grated nutmeg and left out the walnuts to save on calories. I've made this bread 4 times already. The third time, I tried half whole wheat pastry flour and half unbleached white, which did not turn out well. The whole wheat taste was distracting so I'm back to the original. I don't need to change anything; this recipe is perfect 'as is'. Thank you so much for posting it.
