Easy to make and tasted really nice. Kids loved it too. I did substitute 1/3 cup of the flour with oat flour (finely ground oats) and 1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate chips instead of the nuts/raisins. It made 3 mini-loaves which were baked in about 35 minutes.

This recipe is divine! For a long time I tried to replicate a delicious but overpriced pumpkin bread at my local supermarket-this is it! I do add a cinnamon glaze to improve the appearance and keep it moist.

Thanks Joyce!

Made into mini loaves as gifts - baked the mini loaves at 350 for 35 minutes. Left out walnuts and raisins, but topped with powdered sugar. This bread is really delicious and tastes like Autumn.

wonderful bread! It overflowed the pan just a little. I might make 2 smaller loafs next time.

I'm not an experienced baker but I think I should have added some flour since I am at higher altitude. :)
