100% would make again

An enticing aroma wafts through my house when this tender cake-like bread is in the oven. I bake extra loaves to give as holiday gifts. My friends wait eagerly for it every year. -Linda Burnett, Prescott, Arizona

I have been making this for several years! I get asked for the recipe everytime. The only thing I add is 1 cup of chocolate chips.

This bread was so moist- just like my mom's banana bread, but pumpkin! Will definitely be making this recipe again!! Delicious!

I've made this again and again. It's my favorite pumpkin bread recipe because it's simple and makes a great gift. The bread is also deliciously moist and I enjoy eating it plain.

I like making recipes with pudding mixes in them, whether instant or cook-&-serve. I found this recipe when I was looking for pumpkin bread recipes. I make half a recipe at a time and make it into 3 mini loaves. I've noticed that for the first 1 - 3 days, the bread is light & fluffy inside. If it sets a day or two longer, it's not that way anymore. The bread tastes really GREAT! My sister & I love it with store-bought cream cheese frosting. Then again, so does our 3 small dogs. LOL I made this recipe for Thanksgiving and again for Christmas but I didn't have any cream cheese frosting this time though. It's worth making and giving away as gifts.

I have been making this since the recipe first came out in the early to mid 90's. Has ALWAYS been a big hit and a family favorite. Is a staple during our Holiday meals. Have actually had family members hide the leftovers from each other so they can have it all to themselves!
