Very tasty loaf. The spices are just right and add a very nice flavour to the loaf. It is moist and has a nice texture for slicing. I added raisins and pecans which really complimented the already tasty loaf.

This is delicious bread. I did not change a thing and am lucky I froze one loaf. Otherwise, that would be gone, too. Next time I might add some toasted chopped pecans or walnuts.

Best pumpkin bread I have ever tasted in my life! It was so moist and melted in your mouth. It was gone in nearly a few days.

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!

I used my butternut squash from our garden and used pumpkin pie spice instead of the individual spices listed. This bread is awesome. My family loved the tender, flavorful moist loaves.

This is my all time favorite pumpkin bread. Give it a try, you definitely will not be disappointed. So moist. Yum!!

Super delicious! I added about 2 T. of bourbon to the batter. My grandmother always added it to her pumpkin pies so I thought "Why not?" and added it to this bread! YUM! :-)

This had the most wonderful flavor. Some pumpkin spice breads don't really have a pumpkin or spice flavor. This one did not disappoint! I did substitute the oil for unsweetened applesause to cut back on the fat. The downside is that the bread was a little chewy (and I didn't over mix). Next time I might do half oil and half applesauce or just do the oil, because it was that tastey!

I use 2 C. granulated sugar and 1 C. brown sugar, and 1-1/2 teaspoons EACH cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg to make this delicious bread. We sometimes enjoy slices of it topped with whipped cream. Made in smaller loaves, it makes great Christmas treats to share. Loaves of any size freeze well.
