This combination of pumpkin, nuts and dates makes a flavorful bread with a beautiful golden look. The surprise inside— a rich creamy swirl— is almost like a luscious layer of cheesecake in each slice.

Banana might give this a different flavor than what you are looking for. This looks to me like it is like Pumpkin Cheesecake turned inside out. For like flavors, maybe substitute carrots for pumpkin, or if you can get hold of zucchini, this may also work.

I haven't tried this yet, but I was wondering if anyone tried it using banana bread instead of pumpkin bread? In The Netherlands where I live, you just can't get pumpkin, not canned, not fresh... well, not easily nor affordably. Anyway, if anyone has experience with that, I'd love to hear it!

This recipe is the best pumpkin bread I have ever tasted, My family & neighbors just love it. I made the (3) loaves for a pot luck & it just vanished before my eyes. I made one change in recipe, I used butter instead of oil. tasted great either way. I also used pecans not walnuts.

This was such a hit with all of the family; that my father-in-law bought me some new bread pans the next day.

I made this bread for my church group...not a crumb was left. I will be making this again. Thank you.

I highly recommend this trying this recipe, you won't regret it. One thing I would do is cut the filling in half, it makes quite a bit.

This pumpkin bread was over-the-top good. I omitted raisins only because I didn't have them. Very much like a pumpkin roll but easier to handle.

I made this last night and it turned out great.

My favorite pumpkin bread. I make it without the nuts, walnuts, & dates. It is great to serve in the fall - I should check to see if I have all the ingredients to make it again.
