I received this pumpkin bread recipe from a co-worker who made it for an office party. It is so yummy and moist that I now make it every year at the holidays for friends and family. —Sandy Sandaval, Sandy Valley, Nevada

I made this recipe for Christmas and it was great!

WOW! This is the BEST pumpkin bread I've ever made. It makes an excellent dessert by itself, or for a special treat, spread some cream cheese on a slice. Pure heaven.

Of course I 'tweek' this recipe slightly: 1/2c. canola oil and 1 stick melted butter,

a tad more cinnamon and lighter on the cloves, 3 smaller loaf pans rather than 2 large...

This bread freezes nicely for longer storage time (IF it makes it that far).

It is so moist that it tastes richer than a cake, and the topping really adds to the over-all "party in your mouth".

I highly recommend making this bread at anytime of year.

topping adds that special touch. This is a

winner. Thanks so much for sharing this great recipe.

This recipe is wonderful, light, not to sweet, pumpkin flavor is perfect, has a light crust, presentation is beautiful. This is definitely a keeper. I might try adding some golden raisins next time. Thanks for a perfect recipe!!

Very good and easy. I used chopped walnuts instead of pecans and it turned out great.
