Great. if huge, recipe! I used pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and a bit of cardamom and allspice. OMG the house smelled divine! I also added in half a container of vanilla yogurt for more depth (normally would have done a couple of big spoons of sour cream, but was out). I used almost all the sugar called for (just did light scoops, not packed, so probably 1/3 c less overall), and it was perfect. I topped it all with a struesel crumb topping - also perfect! This recipe made one 9"x5" loaf pan, one 8"x4" loaf pan (I only have one of each) and 6 regular muffins (and put walnuts in the smaller loaf - delish!). I filled each container halfway with batter and had plenty of room - it only rose about an inch leaving an inch room after, so I could have done without the muffins and had taller loaves, but with a new recipe, better to be safe than sorry!

Waaaaay too much ground cloves and sugar. If you choose to make this recipe I would suggest swapping the measurements for ginger and cloves except halve the updated amount of cloves. Also if you re making the effort to remove the oil why on earth would you use that much sugar? My suggestion would be to reduce the amount of granulated sugar by about 1/4 cup and the amount of dark brown sugar by about 1/2 cup. I probably will not make this again as I have a recipe from a 1970 s church cookbook that is phenomenal. Read More

11.8.16 House smelled wonderful when this was in the oven. I cut the recipe in half, and instead of one loaf, I baked three mini loaves. This turned out very moist, spicy, and pumpkin-y. Just a tad on the sweet side for us (personal taste preference), so I'll cut back on the sugars next time. Followed the recipe as written, but I did add some chopped pecans. This is a very tasty quick bread and certainly measures up well to other pumpkin breads that I've made! Read More

Cut back on sugar as recommended by others. 1/4 on the white and 1/2 cup on the brown. Cut back on the nutmeg too. The pumpkin bread is delicious. Made full recipe and I m going to freeze one loaf. Read More
