Absolutely delicious! Easy to make and the house smells divine.

Amazing. I did do few changes. I used homemade roasted pumpkin. Added walnuts to batter and used half and half. For topping I added cinnamon. Either way excellent recipe.

I made this as written. There’s not enough pumpkin flavor. I baked it for 50 minutes in my convection oven and it was too long. It has potential. I think the ginger should be left out but that’s a personal preference. I’m going to try the strudel on top of “Pumpkin Bread IV” recipe by Cheryl Riccioli on this site.

Warning: The instructions don’t tell you to add the milk that is on the ingredients list. However, the bread is still delicious! I also substituted diabetic sugar to reduce the calories and did pecans instead of walnuts. I would definitely make this again!

This bread is delicious. I didn’t change a thing.

Very moist and the streusel makes it delicious!! I made one bread, and my family asked me to make another which we did the next day. Both were gone on the same day baked!

I thought the bread needed a bit more cinnamon, but this loaf was moist and the topping truly made it a five-star loaf. I doubled the recipe to make two loaves (and used one 15oz can of pumpkin between the two loaves) and even my picky teen loved it. It was great as a dessert or with coffee in the morning. Froze really well, too!

Love it! Had to use non fat milk but it turned out moist and flavorful. I will be adding to my holiday baking list. Pattie Johns
