This is a good basic pumpkin bread recipe. I feel that it could be enhanced by adding more spice. I couldn't resist adding about 1 cup chopped pecans to the batter because I love them. Mine baked in 45 minutes. Don't forget to grease your baking pans as the directions don't tell you so! Made for Recipe Swap#14.
