Thanks so much for posting this! I adore pumpkin bread, and it is sort of tough to "health up" b/c there is usually so much oil in it. I used 1/2 whole wheat flour, and added about 1/2 t each of nutmeg and ground clove. I also discovered too late that I am out of raisins, but DH and I agree the end result didn't suffer for it! Thanks again!
