A great holiday favorite- I got this from an old Betty Crocker cookbook and make it along with my Recipe #195728 and Recipe #195714 in mini loaves for the holidays! I generally get 6 mini loaves from this recipe and they bake for 33 minutes for me without any changes to the recipe. Easy, fun, crowd pleasing recipes! Enjoy!

Took the pumpkin bread on our youth camping trip and all the youth enjoyed it. Even had one ask for me to make more, and that they loved it. I did add walnuts to the recipe. Thank You for sharing. Made for ZWT8Reply

This made a lovely golden cake. As we don't have canned pumpkin here in Australia I used home made pumpkin puree from a fresh pumpkin. I sprinkled the top with cinnamon as it came out of the oven. Made for ZWT8.Reply

This is a great recipe. Instead of nuts, I used dried cranberries. I made mini loaves for a bake sale. Sold well.Reply
