Well guess what? I forgot to add the water, and realised it after I had poured out a pan of mini-muffins. The muffins were actually perfect without it, luckily. I already had the rest of the batter in 2 loaf pans so I added part of the called for water to the loaf pan batter, stirred it up and moved it over to a sheet pan. There is more than one way to skin a cat. This is an excellent recipe tho' I did spice it up quite a bit with nutmeg, allspice and clove. <br/> I will not include the water next time. The bread in the sheet pan really was too moist for me, (doesn't slice nicely) something I have not encountered before in a quick-bread, but I noticed that at least one other reviewer thought so too. I will make this again and again, sans water. <br/>The can size is 14 oz.

incredible! very moist, which we like. flavor was right on. not too spicy, though i upped the cinnamon to 1.5 tsp. i have now made this recipe about 6 times or more. i did about 1/2 to 1/3 C less sugar the second time and liked it better. sometimes i also replace some white sugar with brown. i also replace 1 cup of wheat flour with a cup of white to make a bit "heartier" though either way it is very good. this recipe makes 2 big loaves or 3 smaller loaves, we prefer 2 big loaves. thanks for sharing this Elena, this was quick, easy, and YUMMY!

This is a good recipe but too moist for our liking so I omitted one egg. I also reduced the sugar a wee bit and added a small handful of choc chips. Just yummy! I did replaced a 1/2 cup of the white flour with wheat but only because we like a heavier bread. It tasted great! I just made some and put it in those cute little decorated loaf pans I got at Michael's Crafts for $1.00. Great for gifts! Thanks for posting this recipe!

This was good bread. I substituted 1/2 c. unsweetened applesauce for 1/2 of the oil and 1 c. Splenda for 1 c. of the sugar. Left out the nuts due to personal preference and added 1/2 t. ginger and 1/2 t. nutmeg. Otherwise followed the recipe. This made 1 full-size loaf and 4 mini loaves. The mini loaves took 40 minutes to bake and the regular loaf took 1 hour. Thanks for posting! We've enjoyed this.

I also got only two loaves, but they were wonderful! For health's sake, I substituted pumpkin pie spice for the cinnamon, my homemade applesauce for the oil, and flax seeds for the nuts. I also used Splenda for half of the sugar. My husband just came upstairs to get the second half of a loaf to take back downstairs to watch TV! Thanks for a great recipe!

I made some of this bread into muffins to take to the old folks home here in town today. I had two large loaves left for my family. Everyone thought that it was wonderful! Nice and moist. I replaced the 1 tsp. of Cinnamon with 2 tsp. of Pumpkin Pie Spice. I also put in 1 tsp. of Matagascar Vanilla and substituted the walnuts for pecans. We grow them here at our home in Utah's Dixie! (yes, we have red dirt too!) Anyway, a great bread! Better then the Krusties Pumpkin bread we made for my daughter's wedding.
