Loved this recipe!! I used a whole wheat flour mixture and it worked out very nicely. Making this a second time this week because my family loved it so much!

DELICIOUS, and oh, so easy to make!!! I made two batches of this and made them in mini loaves which yielded 6 total. I baked them for about 40 minutes +/- until done and they are perfect!! They are going to a work party for my Mom tomorrow and possibly DH's work tomorrow as well! Thanks for posting a great one - It will probably be on my holiday tray this year too!

I've made this recipe on a number of occasions and it's recieved rave reviews each time. I make it with real pumpkin, not from a can and it still turns out wonderfully!
