Hooray for fall! We love this pumpkin bread recipe--especially when the slices are slathered with a generous spread of cream cheese. Makes two loaves, so freeze the other one, or heck--eat it. This bread goes fast.

Aug 30, 2008: Whenever I make pumpkin bread, it's always with this recipe. Can't bring myself to try another since this one is so good. This morning I learned that it's very forgiving too! To make it more nutritious, I reduced the oil by 1/4 c, replaced 1 c all-purpose with white whole wheat flour, used 1/2 c egg beaters for 2 of the eggs, and reduced the sugar by 1/2 c. It was still sweet, soft, and delicious, and I'm about to get another slice right now (before my son demolishes it all). Previous review on Mar 25, 2006: Terrific pumpkin bread! My 9-year-old son said it's the "best bread ever". I've made this twice now. This time I had only about 2 cups of granulated sugar, so I used about a cup of light brown sugar and it worked just fine. Couldn't find my bottle of ground cloves so I used ground allspice instead. Tasty bread, great texture, and the cook time was right on at 60 minutes in nonstick aluminum loaf pans.

    This recipe deserves 10 stars!! I mean it. Absolutely delicious. And so very easy to throw together. I kept one of the loaves for myself and took one in to work to share. Everyone was to bring in goodies today. That Pumpkin loaf was gone in a jiffy, and not a crumb left, while everyone else had leftovers to take back home. Plus I had to give out the recipe! So thanks, jmelyn, for a recipe I will be making again and again.
