This is the best 'lite' pumpkin bread recipe out there. I make this every year by request.

The recipe I had included orange zest in the cream cheese layer. It came from a BEST BREADS recipe booklet I received years ago - at least 15yrs, - from Taste of Home.

I can't find my original recipe for pumpkin ribbon bread ( the not low fat version) either - please offer that one as well - I have made it for gifts for years with great success - that is the version I want. Thank you.

I have a recipe from one of the Reiman Publications for pumpkin ribbon bread, It is NOT the low fat version one featured here & it came from Cathy Van Sickle, Kokomo, Indiana. The picture shows the bread cut on a bread board with two paper doilies under it. I do not know what magazine it came from but I was looking for the reviews on this other bread & the low fat one by Beth Ask, Ulster, Penn. which you feature above, is the only one shown. Could you find the other one I am requesting & feature that one also? Thanks much.

Respone for "jdhorn" regarding which magazine the recipe is from. They did list the magazine, the name is under the nutritional analysis in smal print to the right side.

I have made this several times. Always comes out great!! I think it is so funny when some cooks change it soooo much and then wonder why it doesn't come out! I would like if taste of home would add which book it came from as I have all the books and couldn't find which book this one was in. Lucky I actually remembered the name! Please include the book. Oh for the cook that it was burning on the top and not done in the middle - maybe a lower temp would help? :))

Did not rise at all! I used 1-1/3 cup whole wheat flour and 1/3 cup all purpose flour, since that was all I had. I also only had about 1/3 cup applesauce. I ended up adding a lot more cinnamon and some pumpkin pie spice, otherwise it was too bland. I also didn't put in the ribbon or walnuts. It tasted fine but I was really disappointed in how flat it turned out.

Our Pastor Lori made this for Bible Study yesterday and all in our group really enjoyed it. Very moist and tasty. Can't wait to try it myself.

LOVE this recipe! I switched it up today - I skipped the ribbon altogether. For the batter, I substituted 2/3 c. of whole-wheat flour, I used three eggs instead of one whole egg and two whites, and I omitted the canola oil. A little extra pinch of soda, and I swapped the nuts for dried cranberries. AWESOME!
