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.
