This recipe makes a SUPER TASTY pumpkin bread! It has a great pumpkin and spice flavour, which reminded me of winter holidays. The texture is soft inside with a crunchy top. Mmmm, absolutely yummy! I made only half the recipe and used muffin tins as I was a little short on time and that way the baking time was only 20 minutes. Also I left out the cranberries (Ill add them in next time, though as Im sure theyll add a nice flavour) and reduced the sugar by half, which was still plenty for me. THANKS SO MUCH for sharing another wonderful recipe with us, Syd! It will surely be made again not only during holiday season. Made and reviewed for Edn#8: Make My Recipe Tag Game August 09.

Mom knew her bread. It is very sweet, but with the addition of the cranberries, there was a great sweet and tart balance. I did add a little more cinnamon and nutmeg. I will make again, but likely use less sugar. Made and Reviewed for Zaar Stars tag - Thanks!

Very tasty and a nice texture. I used Splenda and only baked about 1 hour (I cut the recipe in half to make 1 loaf). I would add a little more cinnamon and some ginger next time, because I like my pumpkin bread a little spicier. The dried cranberries are a nice touch.

This is really delicious! And so easy to make, I love that most everything is ONE (all the spices, oil, pumpkin and 4 eggs = 1 cup egg substitute!). The house smelled wonderful as it baked and the long baking time was exactly right, perfectly well done. I may try to cut down sugar to 2 1/2 cups next time, but it really wasn't too sweet (I just try to go light on sugar). This was quite a hit for my family and I recommend it to everyone!
