Notes

  • I also like to use this recipe to make a dozen muffins and four mini-loaves. Decrease the baking time accordingly.
  • The 2.5 cups of pumpkin can be replaced by the same quantity of other fruit. Bananas, apples, cranberries, figs – all good choices. Try adding leftover jars of baby food to the mix.
  • These freeze very well.

    Thanks so much for sharing this recipe. My daughter made this this weekend and it was the best pumpkin bread I have ever had. My mom does not like Pumpkin bread, but ate it to be polite, and LOVED it. She asked for more. thanks again, this is a great recipe.

      I’m so glad you enjoyed it! It’s very adaptable, too. I made it this week, didn’t have enough pumpkin, so I threw in some applesauce to round it out. Still delicious! I also tried it this week with chocolate chips – also quite good!
