I was first introduced to pumkin bread while in college. This bread tastes just as good, if not better. I used canned pumpkin instead of fresh and walnuts instead of pumkin seeds. This recipe is a keeper.
Wow! Moist and delicious.

Found this recipe and realized I still had a sugar pumpkin left from Thanksgiving. I love the idea of using fresh pumpkin, so moist and nutritious. One pumpkin yielded enough for 5 recipes. I omitted the pumpkin seeds because these were made for families with picky kids, so I added chocolate chips and extra cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. Quickly finished 1 loaf and better get the others delivered or we won't have any left for gifts. Will definitely be making this one every year.
great

This pumpkin bread was not only very easy to make (we used can pumpkin - not fresh), it was also very moist, sweet, and delicous. As a bonus, since it has no nuts or nutmeg, my kids that have allergies could enjoy it. I have six boys, and they all loved it.
Best bread ever!

It was amazing! I made 2 small loafs and 1 large loaf. The large loaf didn't cook all of the way through no matter how long I cooked it for but toasted, it was amazing! Great for breakfast or dessert! It was very easy to prepare and extremely tasty!

The pumpkin seeds really make this bread... toasting them first gives it a nice crunch, too. I used canned pumpkin pie filling rather than fresh pumpkin and it turned out fine. Since pumpkin pie filling already has sugar in it, I only put in 3/4 cup sugar.
Love the fresh pumpkin...

I live in Italy, so finding canned pumpkin is almost impossible. It was Thanksgiving and I really wanted to make pumpkin bread to have with dinner. Luckily, I found this recipe with fresh pumpkin! It turned out perfectly (leaving out the seeds and adding nutmeg). The outside was a beautiful golden-brown and the inside was very moist. The bread was delicious and besides, it made my whole apartment smell like I was home for the holidays.
Oh my God!!!

This bread was truly moist and delicious! I left out the seeds as it didn't sound appetizing. Instead I roasted the seeds and had them separately. I didn't use the whole pumpkin so I cut the rest into wedges and dotted them with butter and cinnamon. I baked them in the oven with the bread. My bread took 1 hour and 40 minutes to cook. It was definitely worth the effort!
Moist & Delicious!

I took the advice of other "cooks" & spiced the batter up a bit w/additional clove & allspice. This loaf was SO delicious! I'd give it 5 except for the time/effort of "dealing with" a fresh pumpkin...not the easiest task to complete. I will make this again.
Delicious!

I had a problem using the pumpkin seeds and I noticed some of the other reviewers substituted different nuts but got good results, so I used toasted pecans and doubled the spices and it was delicious! I think Alton boo booed on using pumpkin seeds in this great recipe and by adding more spice it wasn't as bland.

I've never had pumpkin bread b4 so i decided to try this. The first time i made it, i made it word for wrod. I didn't like the seeds so when i made it this time, I used canned pumpkin, allspice, nutmeg, and cinnamon. I added these spices to my liking. This bread tastes soo good! It's so hard to stop eating it!

We made the pumpkin bread with pecans instead of the pumpkin seeds and it turned out great. We also added more cinnamon and nutmeg, allspice and ginger. It turned out as good as anything you'd get at Starbuck's.

I really like the texture that this recipe gives you. I did not add any nuts/seeds and I made muffins. They are much better than a fancy & expensive mix AND I got to put my Halloween pumpkin to good use! Hooray! Also, I added 1/4 tsp of each nutmeg & ground cloves.

I made this bread today...I didn't have fresh shredded pumpkin or seeds, so instead I used a 15 oz can of pumpkin and 1 cup of Grapenuts, plus a small box of pumpkin spice pudding mix. It came out beautifully!

My whole family enjoyed these pumpkin muffins - and we don't even like pumpkin! I replaced the flour with all whole wheat, replaced the white sugar with date sugar, and replaced all the eggs with a vegan egg replacer. It was too much work to shell the pumpkin seeds, so I used chopped pecans. It is a definite keeper for my family.
easy and not too sweet

I just finished making this bread (I made them into muffins instead of a loaf of bread) and it's delicious! I did not add the seeds and I did add 1/4 heaping tsp of nutmeg, allspice, and a pinch of cloves per other reviews. I think I'm going to buy another pumpkin tomorrow just so I can make this recipe again!
delicious treat for fall!!

This bread is delicious!! Perfect for a fall gathering. We carved our pumpkin the other night and along with it we were able to make a fabulous bread! I made it using the fresh pumpkin, walnuts instead of the pumpkin seeds (baked the pumpkin seeds separately for another delicious treat!), whole wheat flour, and added a few chocolate chips to make it even more delicious. As others mentioned, it could use more spice. I'm going to add more cinnamon next time. Very moist! Overall, a great recipe!!

Got this recipe, read other reviews and added 1tsp of Nutmeg and 1 tsp of Ground Clove for a bit more spice. Also left out pumpkin seeds as others had found them chewy. Did they use the pumpkin seeds in the shell or out?? I instead used Sunflower seeds
Great with a couple of modifications..

I too used toasted pecans instead of pumkin seeds, and loved the results. I think next time I'd like to try it with shelled pumpkin seeds. I also added about 1/2 tsp. of nutmeg, 1 tsp. of allspice, and a dash of ground cloves. I really liked the results. I just read that someone made it with raisins.. That sounds like a tasty addition I'll try next time too.

We liked this recipe so much we made it twice in one week! We thought the pumpkin seeds would be too chewy, so for the first batch we used toated pepitas (shelled pumpkin seeds)-it was wonderful!. The second batch we used chopped walnuts - also very good, but not as unique.
The Best - Unique

User: Beth from Elsah, IL User Rating:
This is the most unique, wholesome pumpkin bread I've ever had/made. I think many people are confused by the pumpkin seeds. It sounds as if some are using pumpkin seeds still in the shell. You can purchase Pepitas, or already-shelled pumpkin seeds. They turn out virtually like nuts, but slightly softer. You HAVE to use the pumpkin seeds/pepitas - it's what makes the recipe. Go ahead and tweak the spices, but LEAVE THE SEEDS IN!!!

Not at all pedestrian. The asthetics of the bread were great...oversized loaf and pumpkins seeds gave it interest and a nutty flavor, but pumpkin seeds are impossible to eat!! Perhaps chopping the toasted seeds would help?
Excellent and Perfect for Fall!

This one really says to me, "fall is here." The most complicated part of the recipe is toasting the pumpkin seeds and shredding the pumpkin...but the food processor makes it easy. The cooking time is not right. I always bake the loaf for 1 hour and 50 minutes.

This bread is moist and yummy, although I too had a problem with chewy seeds. Thinking of using walnuts instead next time or using half whole wheat flour for that nutty flavor. Great with tea or coffee in the morning with a piece of fruit for a wholesome breakfast.

this is very delicous recipe, my mother in law makes pumpkin bread all the time and I wanted to make it for my husband without asking her for her recipe, and it was good. instead of the pumpkin seeds I put chopped pecans and raisins, and added a little nutmeg. My husband thought it was his mother's. Surprise........one for me.

The bread was moist, had a nice form and a pretty crust but, the flavor was really lacking. I felt the need to put confectioners sugar, cinnamon sugar or vanilla ice cream on it to enhance the flavor. It was just BLAND to me. I double checked that I followed the receipe exactly -- and I did. I'm not sure why everyone loves it so much :(

This bread came out very nice and moist and I will definitely make it again. However, next time I will make the following changes: 1) Skip the pumpkin seeds... WAY too chewy. Maybe I'll use walnuts or raisins instead? 2) Add a bit of nutmeg, cloves and ginger along with the cinnamon. 3) Substitute some (or all) of the white sugar with brown. 4) Turn up the oven a bit (it took nearly 30 mins longer to bake than the recipe states). These are just personal preferences though... the basic recipe is good!

I made thise recipe without the seeds and used canned pumpkin. It was easy and delicious, but seemed a bit oily. Perhaps it was an error on my part. I will try making it again very soon to find out. I have been doing searches for pumpkin bread that is low fat, and this recipe seemed to call for the least amount of oil compared to other recipes.

My one qualm with this recipe is: do you peel the pumpkin before grating??? I did. I also used organic cane sugar for one batch. The batter with white sugar looked nicer, but the organic sugar was IT in terms of finished product. LOVED the pumpkin seeds in place of nuts, the texture was great. Can't wait to make this again, the pumpkin flavor was tremendous and the top was crunchy as it should be. Also made muffins, but not as good as the loaf. Yummy!!!!

I love making this bread it's SO good. I've made this a few times, and biggest issue I have is the bread not cooking all the way through no matter how long I cook it or how high I up the temperature. I think if I make a smaller loaf size it may solve the problem. Also added some nutmeg and allspice to add a bit more spice flavor, and I don't put in pumpkin seeds.
