Pumpkin Bread

Something about autumn air always brings out the taste for good Pumpkin Bread in me and my family. It's always been a traditional favorite from about October, throughout the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. There's a richness to pumpkin that's not found in any other tea bread.

Thanks for a great recipe that makes 3 whole loaves. It'll be nice to have an extra loaf or two ready and waiting.

Pumpkin Bread

This is the same recipe I use, except I made a few changes. I put one tsp of baking soda and one of baking powder. I leave out the raisins because I am allergic to them, and I use walnuts. King Arthur All-Purpose flour is the best to use with this, along with Libby canned pumpkin. The oil I use is canola, and when I make it, it only makes two loaves not three; you might get three if you use small pans. (09/27/2007)
