New England Pumpkin-Walnut Bread
Pumpkin bread is for chilly mornings when you long for some homestyle New England food. Serve slices with a warm and soothing beverage. —Kimberly Forni, Laconia, New Hampshire

My family loved this recipe. The minute I took them out of the oven, my husband was standing by to have a slice. Within 36 hours, the first loaf was gone. I wrapped the second in plastic wrap and then foil and froze it for a family gathering a week later. It was a rave review for all. Will make often throughout the year.
Great pumpkin bread recipe moist and delicious, will probably add reasons or cranberriess.
My new recipe for pumpkin bread hands down! Instead of water, I used apple juice and I used cranberries instead of walnuts. It came out so delicious and moist. The recipe is so versatile allowing you to change it up each time and still come out with a wonderful bread for family and friends!
I can’t wait to make this but have a question. One reviewer mentioned applesauce makes it moist but the recipe doesn’t call for it. How much would I add to the recipe and would it be a substitute for the honey or sugar?
It would be very nice if recipes had the adjustments for high altitude! I have a wonderful pumpkin bread recipe from when I lived in Louisiana. But it needs something different for Colorado. This recipe sounds great, but I don't want to waste ingredients on something that will not turn out right due to altitude. Thank you!
HomeChefColleen mentioned applesauce … I don't see it in the ingredients ????
One of my most favorite quick bread recipes--the spices give it a deep, rich flavor, so reminiscent of fall. The oats on top are a unique touch that make it look like a professional bakery loaf.
Excellent Bread. The bread was moist and as other reviewers have said, not too sweet. There was a sweetness but not overpowering. The balance of spices was pleasing, too. I would be OK with omitting the oatmeal on top of the bread. I didn't really find that it added much to it other than it made it known it was homemade and not a box mix you can buy in the store. I've already tossed out my pumpkin bread recipe and this will be my "go to" recipe for pumpkin bread.
Made these loaves for my mom who loves a moist quick bread. And these are deliciously moist, thanks to the applesauce! It's great that it makes two loaves! Thanks for the recipe!
This recipe is fabulous! Moist, sweet but not overly so. The toasted oatmeal on top gives a good crunch. I omitted the nuts and added dark chocolate chips instead.
