Good recipe and I enjoyed the video. Further points:

1. pumpkin seeds are expensive. I used chopped walnuts (baked lightly before putting into batter instead and the taste was lovely;
2. grate your pumpkin or use your food processor as A. Brown does (the flavor is superior to canned pumpkin and/or pumpkin puree;
3. if you do use canned pumpkin/puree, use less of it (about 2 1/3 cups. It is denser than the grated pumpkin (which has a better flavor and texture, in my opinion;
4. use brown sugar (not white. It gives the bread better flavor and color;
5. you need use only 2 eggs,not 3.

This is the best pumpkin bread I ever put in my mouth. My coworkers and family raved about it. I just used regular pumpkin in a can and didn't use pumpkin seeds, but it was still awesome. Two thumbs up!

The pumpkin bread was absolutely delicious. However, peeling and shredding a pumpkin is a very unpleasant experience.

I made this today was amazing! I put the pumpkin in my food processor and it worked out great! I also baked it in a bundt pan.

Instead of grating raw pumpkin, which seemed laborious, I roasted the pumpkin in foil for 1.5 hours at 350 degrees. The result was easily pureed by my Kitchenaid. I made 24 cupcakes that turned out moist and flavorful. I also added nutmeg and ginger and omitted the vanilla.

We grew pumpkins in our garden and wanted to make something yummy with them. That is when we came across this recipe! It is amazing. It is a bit dense so one slice per person is perfect! I Already made 3 loaves of it! Thanks Alton

Here we have an excellent example of a very good "recipe" getting progressively dumbed down for the masses. I'd like to specifically address the use of canned pumpkin, and spice in this bread.
I suggest that instead of making a spice bread with a can of bland, overcooked pumpkin puree that the cook use fresh pumpkin. The amount of spice in this bread is most likely deliberately diminished so that the flavor of the pumpkin can be appreciated. I made a bread similar to this one using half whole wheat flour and half AP. I reduced the amount of oil to 4oz. and added perhaps a half cup more grated pumpkin. I also peeled the pumpkin before grating because I wanted to avoid any bitterness that the pumpkin peel might impart. I added cinnamon to taste and grated just a bit of nutmeg into the batter.
The resulting bread was very moist with a pleasingly dense texture. The aroma and flavor of the pumpkin really came through without being overpowered by strong spices.

I love this recipe! I have made it several times for my family. The only thing I do differently is add canned pumpkin and omit the pumpkin seeds. This makes the bread a little denser. When pumpkin season is here I will try fresh shredded pumpkin and see how that changes things. Otherwise, very YUMMY!

My friend and I made this recipe one day when we were craving pumpkin, and it really did the trick. We added a dash of nutmeg just for a little more spice, and it was amazing. Thank you Alton!!
