With fall here and pumpkins all over the place, I was wanting to bake some sort of pumpkin-y thing. I am glad I chose this quick bread. This is an excellent recipe! I did add 1 tsp. of vanilla to the wet mixture and 1/2 tsp of cloves to the flour mixture, but other than that, followed the recipe exactly. My loaves were done in 55 min. They made the house smell so good and taste so good as well! Thanks, Annacia, for a keeper! UPDATE: I baked this recipe in 3-8x4 loaf pans at 350 degrees for 46 minutes, and they came out perfect!!

Great recipe! I made it into muffins because my bread pan seems to have vanished. The muffins also quickly vanished but not in the same way as the bread pan. Thanks for sharing! :)

Huge hit at a Thanksgiving party! I followed the recipe exactly but decided to whip up some cream cheese frosting to add to this bread's deliciousness All I did was take"whipped" plain cream cheese, whip it with some confectioners sugar and a little vanilla extract, to taste.

Delicious! It is good plain, or even better lightly toasted & buttered. My suggestion to other cooks is to use a large stand mixer (Kitchenaid). I didn't feel like getting mine out, and had a hard time mixing the large amount of batter with my hand-held.

Thanks for the recipe, Annacia. I made this recipe precisely as written. The result was good, but if I made it again, I'd change a few things. It took forever too cook, about 85 minutes with some in & out, so I'd omit the water. I know my oven is accurate, but I'm not sure whether my 3750 ft altitude makes such a difference. Secondly, it needed more spice, so I'd double that. My spices were reasonably fresh. I used 3 tsp. of this spice mix: 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon, 2 teaspoons ground ginger, 2 teaspoons ground nutmeg, 1 ½ teaspoons ground allspice and 1 ½ teaspoons ground cloves.
