I made this to take to family's for Thanksgiving visit. I added mini choc chips, splitting quantity with nuts. Mine took a longer time to bake than indicated, even sinking in the center after I took out, prompting a quick return to the oven. My oven may be calibrated low, but it was the only unexpected thing that happened. Once fully baked, the loaves were delicious, gobbled up by family and houseguests alike. Great pumpkin spice flavor and texture. I'll make again!! -
This pumpkin bread was very moist and had a nice blend of spice. Made for a bake-a-thon for Cool Monday. Thanks jneen. Bullwinkle -
This is going in my holiday book!!! What a great recipe! Flavorful but not overpowering. Very moist- a hit with my whole office. This makes 2 loaves, but only 1 made it past the first day. -
ABSOLUTELY 5 stars!!! I am in heaven with this bread. I made this without the nuts for allergies and it was TO DIE FOR! Moist, flavorful, and I wouldnt leave any of the spices out. It seemed like alot to me once I re-read through the ingredients, but to my surprise it was fabulous! I will be making this again and again! Thanks so much jneen!!! -
This is very good I give it 5 stars. I had another recipe and lost it and when I found this one I was delighted. I made it for our Church bake sale and we sold every one of them. Thank you for sharing this recipe. Ellie in Illinois
