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.

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.

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.
