This is REALLY GOOD!!! I know simple but true. I have a family of picky eaters and the whole family LOVED it!! My daughter ate it for a quick breakfast (that is good coming rom a 5 yo.) We took out the nuts because of afore mentioned picky eaters! Still delicious. I also added just a pinch of allspice. October 8, 2000

Very good recipe. One thing to try: peanut butter chips instead of nuts or chocolate chips. Everyone I know loves it. April 2, 2001

Two thumbs up!! I altered the recipe to make just one loaf. I did not have brown sugar, so instead I used molasses. Upon taking it from the oven, I brushed the top with some melted butter combined with cinnamon and sugar. This bread was easy on the eyes, and delicious. Will make again. Thanks! June 25, 2002

Thank goodness this recipe yields two loaves or it would have been gone way too soon!!! Delicious!!! I had some cranberries that needed to be used, so I substituted 1 cup of chopped cranberries for the nuts. November 17, 2004

YUMMY! My whole family really enjoyed this bread! Next time I make it, I may add some raisins or dried cranberries, for a little added zing. November 24, 2004

This is absolutely the best pumpkin bread recipe I have come across, and its so easy to add things to if you want (although your recipie is superb).

I have made muffins with it also, and added a crumble top... they never last more than a few days.

I use this recipe a few times a month, at least. My boyfriend can't get enough of it. March 9, 2005

I make this exact recipe into pumpkin muffins and they're a big hit w/ my 2-year-old. A great thing about this recipe is that the butter is melted, so I can just mix everything with a fork; this makes it easy to make during The Kid's nap (no electric mixer = no noise during naptime) and have fresh, warm muffins waiting when he wakes up. Just bake the muffins for about 10 minutes less than you would the bread loaves. January 12, 2006

Excellent ! I used fresh pumpkin instead of canned. Very easy to do. The extra time it takes is well worth it and can be done in advance and store in fridge or freezer. Good use of a Jack o' lantern, but need to bake next day after carving! Best way to bake a small pumpkin (Sugar variety) is cut in half length wise, scoop out seeds, place halves cut side down on a rack in a shallow pan with small amount of water in bottom. Bake @ 350 until fork can pierce easy, about 1 hour.Cool and scoop flesh into a bowl and mash. Pour off any excess liquid and measure into 2 cup portions.(about the same as a 14 oz. can of pumpkin) Used 2 cups to make this recipe. Makes the best pumpkin pie too!. I also added 1 cup of dried cranberries to this bread recipe. Very Yummy!! November 8, 2006
