It is very nice and sweet with alot of pumpkin flavor, and spice, and most importantly it is moist, This is a large recipe so you'll be able to keep a loaf for yourself and share with friends. I'm not sure of the origin of this recipe. So I'll just say it's from my mom.

My mom is begged to make this moist yummy bread every year. She uses round coffee cans to bake the loaves, which makes a neat log effect. It's really great with cream cheese, and a big hit with kids! Incredibly easy and a wonderful family tradition. Crushed Pecans or Walnuts make a great addition.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree: Fresh pumpkin puree gives the bread a more intense pumpkin flavor. If you don't have fresh pumpkin puree, you can use canned pumpkin puree, but be sure to drain it well before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the bread tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a loaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches: A smaller loaf pan will make the bread too thick and dense.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 60-70 minutes.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help the bread to hold its shape.

Conclusion:

This pumpkin bread recipe is a classic for a reason. It's easy to make, moist and flavorful, and perfect for fall. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your pumpkin bread turns out perfect every time. So next time you're looking for a delicious and festive treat, give this recipe a try.
