Pumpkin Pie Spice Bread

The first time I make a recipe I always make it as it is posted and I am so glad I did that this time because it is perfect! Great recipe--the only thing I would maybe do differently is add a little more spices (like slightly heaping) as a matter of personal taste and some vanilla but really the recipe is great as is! It is absolutely a great fall recipe and today was overcast and just felt like a baking kind of day...my house smells wonderful from this bread!

Made a bunch of changes, nothing too drastic. Put 1 scant cup brown sugar and 1 scant cup white sugar, used the 'alternatives', doubled the spices and added 1/2 cup oats instead of the last cup of flour, all of which was whole wheat. Oh, and I sprinkled in some ground flax. But the kicker was when I forgot to add the eggs and baked them into muffins, and they still turned out delicious! A little dense, but I certainly surprised myself!

I made this bread with the applesauce option and 1 cup brown sugar, 1 cup white sugar. I honestly felt a bit letdown, it just wasn't very "pumkin-ey". I made a cream cheese glaze which helped the bread a bit, but my vacuum cleaner hubby was the only one who really ate it.

So yummy! I've made this recipe several times and this is what I do: I use 1 1/2 c sugar, add a bit of vanilla to the pumpkin mixture, and in addition to the spices listed in the recipe, I add 1 (heaping) teaspoon of Pumpkin Pie Spice. This gives it a bit more flavor and a little ginger, too. And, I find that 60 min is too long--50 minutes and then letting it sit in the pans for another half hour seems to work with my crazy oven.

I also add a pkg of milk choc chips and it's so delicious!

Very Good! I followed the suggested recipe (subbing applesauce for most of the oil, reducing the sugar - although i used one cup reg sugar and one cup brown, becuase thats all i had). I also added a good cup of reconstituted raisins. The bread came out much darker than the picture shown ( ill figure out how to post the pic i took of my loaf later), But it was still delicious. waiting for the final verdict from my Best friend who is a pumpkin bread fanatic.

I pulled the loaves out of the oven 20 minutes ago and just finished my first slice. I am in LOVE with this recipe! I am adding this to my personal recipe collection immediately! I made this just as written with no substituions and it turned out amazing! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!

This exact recipe has been in our family for over 40 years, and we just love it! Our kiddos are disgustingly healthy (thank God!), so I don't worry about the cup of oil...we don't make it every week, and olive oil works perfectly well.
I do make these changes: I use half regular flour and half white whole wheat flour. It adds a mice nutty texture, and some health benefits. I also tend to bake it in a 9x13 pan, since I have bad luck getting it fully bakes in loaf pans.
Our recipe calls for 2/3 cup water. I'll try cutting it to see if loaf pan baking works better- so thanks for that! :)
This bread is quick and easy to make, and sooo delicious! It's really tasty as a side dish with any poultry dish, and the kids love it for breakfast. Yum!

A nice loaf. I made my own pumpkin, so omitted the water (like another reviewer) and cut the sugar to 2 cups. Next time I may add a tablespoon or so of molasses. Looking forward to trying with applesauce!

I have been meaning to do this review for almost a year. This is the BEST pumpkin bread recipe I've found. I have passed it on to all of my friends. Folks, before you start making changes to this recipe, try it as Marg posted it. It's great exactly as it's written. I love the cloves in the recipe. Adds just the right touch.

A great bread for the holidays. It is moist, flavorful and makes two large loaves. One to give away and one to have with coffee for us! I used two cups of sugar and loved the spice combination. Thanks for making our holiday season extra yummy! Carole in Orlando

Outstanding! I used fresh pumpkin, just 3 eggs (ran out, but 3 worked fine) and 1/2 cup oil. I also added some ginger to the recipe and a cored, skined apple that I used the blender to dice in to small pieces. The bread was extremely moist and tasted great. Next time I think I'll add some chocolate chips to one of the loafs. Thanks for sharing a great recipe.

I made these into muffins for my children rather than a loaf. The only reason for 4 stars is that 1 cup of sugar is enough! I used butternut squash and mashed it myself. Flavours are wonderful. It made 20 large muffins. I made half plain and half with choc chips. The plain were great with butter, choc chip ones were great on their own. Thanks for the recipe - a keeper!!! Elizabeth

I also used my own pumpkin, cooked and blenderized, and it worked out great. Instead of cloves I used cardamom, and I used part whole wheat flour. Overall nice warm taste and good texture. I do not have 2 loaf pans, so I put half the batter in a square cake pan. It worked well, and I could see making it again this way in order to top with a cream cheese icing.

My family and I are eating this delicious bread as I type! Seriously, look no further if you are looking for "the" pumpkin bread recipe. The crust on the bread is nice and crispy, but not tough or thick. The inside is moist and flavorful. I did add a teaspoon of vanilla to the wet ingredients, and some ginger to the dry ingredients. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe, Marg... it's our new family favorite!

This was great - I reduced the cloves as I'm not too fond of them, added 1/4 tsp ground star anise, and a package of Nestle chocolate chips. Also used 1/3 bread flour, 1/3 whole wheat flour, and 1/3 all purpose flour. (I wouldn't recommend this unless adding the chocolate chips.)

YUM, YUM, YUM! This is fantastic. I made the bread, but I also made mini-muffins from the recipe (cooked in about 12 minutes).
