added 1/2 teaspoon of ginger. And did 1/2 cup melted butter and 1/2 cup avocado oil, because I only had 1 stick of butter. Turned out wonderful!!!
Margaret Sharp
This is a great recipe. The loaves took a bit longer, but oh so yummy!
Robert Higgins
an amazing flavor filled bite

This was a quick easy recipe and my family loved the flavours. I agree with one post that it’s more cake like, I don’t mind that. I was prepared to change amounts and spices but I always make “as is” before implementing changes. Sweetness level is good for us, if one wanted to you could add a sweet drizzle of confectioners sugar some cinnamon and pinch of nutmeg with water/milk? I give it 6 stars!! Thank you for this, it’s keeper.

I added my own stuff and burnt the bottom a bit. I cut that off and it went over very well with all my coworkers and fiends.

I made a different pumpkin bread yesterday but this one is better. I did not have 3 cups of pumpkin so I used what I had (2) and added 1 cup homemade chunky applesauce. I also added lots of spices-3 Tablespoons cinnamon, 1-1/2 T ground nutmeg, 2 t ground cloves and 1 t ground ginger. AND 2 cups craisins Best of luck. This turns this recipe into a 5 *

Made for my wife (she loves pumpkin bread) and she won’t let me make a different recipe.
Rachel Jackson
Tasted like pumpkin with a few spices that didn’t overwhelm the overall taste. Thumbs up for Jim.
Robert Lawrence
Very good and moist. Next time I my increase the spices.
Deborah Kaiser
Really great! Nice soft and fluffy, I liked the fact that it uses up a lot of pumpkin compared to other recipes! I didn’t have to change anything to the recipe!
Andre Green
I have a spiced pumpkin bread recipe already, but like to try new ones…I made jumbo muffins as well as the 2 loaves, and must say this was a big hit!!! So now I have a NEW ?? recipe. Thank you!! See my muffin pic!
William Hendrix
Moist and rich but could have been a bit sweeter and needs more spices. I also used ginger which is not included in the original recipe.
Daniel Green
The first time I made this, I didn’t have enough flour even though I halved the recipe so I used a cup of complete buttermilk pancake mix. I also made a really big loaf because I don’t have small pans. Also I substituted allspice for cloves because it’s what I had. This bread was rich, delicious, and almost like cake. I just made another tonight because it was SO good!
Gary King
Great recipe. I made 2 bread loaves and 12 muffins.
Ashley Davis
Delicious Pumpkin bread! I will definitely make it again.
Ms. Amy Flores MD
The only issue I had with this recipe is how it fit into three loaf pans. I prepared three pans but when I dumped the batter I realized I barely had enough for two. So I baked it in two 9×5 metal bread pans. The bread baked perfectly in the time alloted which is unusual for quick breads. It is delicious especially with all the spices included. Thanks!
