Excellent pumpkin bread. I scaled the recipe down and made only one loaf, but now I wished I made the whole recipe! I used butter instead of shortening, but otherwise followed to a "T". Loved the texture and the flavor...thanks for sharing! P.S. I needed about 60 minutes bake time.

Fanstastic!! Great flavor and texture, my family loved it, it froze like a charm. This is going in our family favorites binder. I added raisins to 1 loaf, since my husband doesn't like nuts. Next time I'm going to try addding chocolate chips in one loaf, or an orange glaze on top of another - there's a lot you can do with this recipe - thanks for posting it!

Great recipe. As Caryn describes, it is a dense, very moist pumpkin bread almost overflowing with nice pumpkin flavor and good spice. The finished breads were really a lovely brown color and held together nicely. Because I ran out of white sugar (a first in my home), I used only brown sugar. To account for this, I also added a bit more cinnamon and nutmeg. We don't use shortening, so I used butter and it came out beautifully. Although I was concerned that it would be too sweet, it was just perfect. I made one loaf pan and 16 mini loaves. Thank you for posting this recipe. It'll be well-used and is already well-loved.

Great recipe for gifts since it makes 3 loaves at a time (I have a lot of in-laws!). Very moist and a lovely smell of autumn spices. I used two teaspoons of vanilla and added a cup of raisins.

Made this last night! I added 1/2 tsp of ground cloves and raisins! I toasted some pecans and chopped those up too! This was very moist and delicious! I ended up making 2 regular loaves and 4 small loaves with this recipe. I took a loaf to work and everyone has asked for the recipe! Thanks Caryn for sharing your family recipe with us!

I made this bread and it was delicious; I made only 1 loaf, and substituted allspice for the nutmeg. Thanks for a great recipe.

Wonderful recipe! I've used other recipes for pumpkin bread, but this is by far the best! Great flavor, texture and freezes beautifully. Everyone loved it, even my very picky seven year old son. I baked these in mini bundt pans and they are going to make beautiful teacher gifts. Thank you for sharing!!

This has become a staple at our house. I use three cups of sugar instead of four, and add an entire bag of mini semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of the nuts. It is always moist and delicious. It's not even funny how fast we can devour all three loaves (I have four kids--one of whom is a big strapping teenage boy!)

A hit each time I make it. I'm almost embarrassed to tell people how easy it is too. Simply a great recipe.
