Oh YUM, YUM, YUM! This bread is amazing! It is sturdy yet also very moist, has a great crunchy crust and outstanding taste! The pumpkin and nuts are complemented perfectly by the spices. Mmmmm! I think it's one of the best, if not the best pumpkin bread Ive ever made. Loved it! :) I made half the recipe using part whole wheat flour and reducing the sugar to 1/4 cup in total. That was plenty sweet for our taste. Also I forgot to reserve nuts for sprinkling on top, so I had them all inside of the bread. That was lovely, though and I didnt have to be afraid of them burning in the oven. lol<br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this keeper with us, Ceezie!<br/>Made and reviewed for PRMR Tag November 2011.
