Great recipe! It makes the most perfect-tasting, moist, pumpkin bread. I was out of allspice so I substituted cinnamon and added semi-sweet chocolate chips. It came out great.

I froze the second loaf... we ended up taking it out of the freezer in a day or two! Cream cheese frosting on second loaf - so very good!

This recipe makes a wonderfully moist bread. I was out of allspice so I used cinnamon instead and added chocolate chips. It came out wonderfully tasty!

Based on what other reviewers wrote, I made some changes of my own. Used 2 cups white sugar and 1 cup brown, 1/2 cup oil and 1/2 cup applesauce. Added 1/2 tsp ginger and used apple juice instead of water. I used my own pumpkin puree from home-grown pumpkins. Baked in 3 smaller loaf pans; still took 55-60 minutes to bake. Couldn't wait for a loaf to cool off! Sliced and tasted while still warm. Out of this world good!

This is almost the same recipe as mine! Only difference is the addition of 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. My Mom is 92 years young and she got the recipe from her Mother! So, yes, it is well over 40 years old!

I have been making this pumpkin bread recipe for many years. It is by far my favorite one! It always turns out perfectly and it freezes very well too. Yummy!

Oh my goodness! This is a fantastic recipe, the bread is so flavorful, moist, and it was SO very easy to make. I did add 2 T. of Bourbon to the recipe (Had some on hand so I though, why not!?)

Will be making this recipe again and again and again..

Made 2 loaves exactly as recipe stated. Loaves were moist, dense and the spices were just right. It actually tastes much better than pumpkin pie, well almost! I have saved this recipe, and will most definitely make again.

Great bread! I made it with our pumpkins from the garden.

I use less sugar and it is still very sweet, but that just depends on the baker.

Great recipe!
