  1. This bread is awesome! It really does melt in your mouth. This is a keeper!
     
  2. I was looking for a pumpkin bread that would be different from my own recipe, and when I saw that coconut pudding, I knew I had found it! Although I couldn't find that in "instant", I chose the "cook and serve" coconut cream pudding and was go for launch. This was easy peasy to toss together. Don't forget to grease and flour the bottom of that pan! And it came out of the oven right on time. It has a wonderful taste of pumpkin with coconut as well, and is very moist from the pudding mix. It definitely melts in your mouth! A keeper even if you have a prized pumpkin bread recipe stashed away! Thanks, Mysterygirl!
     
  3. This has got to be, by far the best bread I have ever made!! The first loaf I made was eaten before I got a cahnce to try it! The smell of the house while it is baking is out of this world!!
     
  4. This was sooo good! I'm glad a friend of mine directed me to your recipe. Thank you!
     
  5. Wonderful and easy!! I do homedaycare and we went to the pumpkin patch got a fresh pumpkin, cored it, baked it and used the fresh pumpkin to make this bread. It was great!!

Tweaks

  1. This was really good and super simple! I made 3 loaves all with different pudding to see which we liked best.<br/>First I used pumpkin pudding which is available seasonally. It seems to be the best. I didn't add any additional spices since I figured it was already in there. A dash of pumpkin pie spice wouldn't hurt though next time.<br/>Second I used vanilla pudding. It turned out fine, but it wasn't our favorite. I would use it over the coconut though.<br/>Third was the coconut. I didn't really like this as much. It was still good, but the coconut flakes from the pudding made kind of a strange texture.<br/>So overall I would say add pumpkin pie spice instead of just cinnamon and if you can find it use the pumpkin jello pudding. Thanks for the recipe I will be making this for a bake sale!
     
  2. This is a great recipe, but I tweaked it too much to honestly give stars. I tripled it, and used half whole wheat flour, mostly sucanat rather than all white sugar, and used a bit less sugar. We don't get coconut pudding mix here, so I used 2 butterscotch and 1 vanilla, and added a smidge of coconut extract. I also upped the nutrition by adding ground flax, sunflower seeds, and chia, and instead of cinnamon I used twice as much pumpkin pie spice, and I think it could have used even more. I will make this recipe again; it is almost as easy as making it from a cake mix, and so much yummier.
     
  3. This is a VERY good recipe! I used a cup of dark brown sugar, added about a cup of chopped pecans, lots of extra spice (nutmeg, pumpkin pie spice, cloves, ginger, etc.), used vanilla pudding instead of coconut and baked it between 325 and 350, and my muffins turned out perfectly! I'll use this recipe over and over again. Thanks!
     
  4. This was very easy & quick to make. I made these into muffins instead. I added in a tsp. each of nutmet and ground clove. I also added 1/2 a tsp of baking powder. I added in pecans for some extra crunch and nutty flavor. I also used vanilla pudding and used only 3/4 cup sugar. I used 1/4 tsp salt instead to help cut down on the salt. And lastly, I replaced 1/2 the amount of applesauce for the oil and with all of the things I added and a few of my changes, this still came out very moist and great!
     
  5. I replaced half the oil with applesauce but did everything else as directed. The bread was super moist and the combination of coconut and pumpkin is sublime. My only complaint is that it did not rise properly (hence the four-star rating).
