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, applesauce, cranberries, figs – all good choices. Try adding leftover jars of baby food to the mix.
- White whole wheat flour can be substituted with no change in flavor.
- 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!
Lookin’ good! I saw it on Whimsy-love and I’ve got it in the oven right now! Smells delish!
I hope you liked it! I haven’t made a batch yet this season, but I am eager to rectify that situation 🙂
It was soo yummy! I had it with some pumpkin butter from Trader Joe’s, which is very tasty! People are loving these gifts. Thanks for the recipe!
Glad to hear it! 🙂
