"I got this recipe from...? You know I can't remember now! But, it was so easy and so tasty! My kids adore them, and they are picky eaters! I do hope you enjoy this recipe! (I used real pumpkin puree, but canned pumpkin will work just fine, too!)"

I baked the bread as directed and it worked perfectly for me! The bread was so moist and delicious. Can't wait to make again.

Many pumpkin bread recipes made 2 loaves and I only have 1 pan so I decided to try this recipe and don’t regret it. I used canola oil and 1/2 brown sugar 1/2 granulated sugar. Bake time is accurate. After slicing the bread I spread some butter on and sprinkled it w/ cinnamon sugar.

Very good and easy. I didn't have allspice, so added 1/4 tsp ginger and 1/4 tsp ground cloves - also used both raisins and nuts. Great! This doubles perfectly, so you can make several of the little gift sized loaves for gift baskets.

Great Pumpkin Bread. After reading the reviews I made few changes, replaced the white flour with wheat, used brown sugar instead of white & replaced the oil with the same amount of unsweetened apple sauce, after all who needs the fat. Came out yummy. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe with us all.

I prepared this easy recipe last night, and right after removing it from the oven, I had to leave. When I returned home (approximately 1hr later) all but one slice was gone!!! When I asked who ate all the bread, nobody knew anything, But my grandson sang like a bird! So I'm making another one now, because the slice I did eat was DELICIOUS!!!
