This is an all time, excellent, every time recipe. It is very simple, and so well loved by many. I make these for family, friends, school functions, work functions, for gifts etc. It has always been raved about - even by kids! I recommend bringing this to your Thanksgiving function; you will be thanked many times for this delicious taste treat. This is a large quantity, but you will end up making this size batch more than once. You can also make muffins and small loaves using this recipe; bake for 30 to 35 minutes.

Pumpkin Bread IV

pumpkin puree

vegetable oil

white sugar

eggs

all-purpose flour

baking powder

baking soda

salt

cinnamon

nutmeg

cloves

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 9x5 inch loaf pans.


In a large bowl, mix together the pumpkin, oil, sugar, and eggs. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves; stir into the pumpkin mixture until well blended. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.


Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour. The top of the loaf should spring back when lightly pressed.


Your mouth will start to water 40 min. into the baking time as the aroma invades your home!!!  Since this makes 3 loaves, it is a great gift to bring over to neighbors and relatives, also great to freeze and  have on hand.
I will definetly use only half of the oil, and substitute the rest for unsweetened applesauce since it is 10g fat per slice.  It stays fresh in the fridge for a little over a week.  I had to cook mine for 70-75 min. but that is probably due to my oven.********So I tried this recipe again and put only applesauce and no oil.  The result?  Better!  It is so moist and delicious and healthier!  I have made it this way 10 plus times now and I will never go back to putting oil in it!

This is really great.  The only thing I did differently was I didn't measure out 3 cups of pumpkin.  I just used a 28 oz can.  You get about a half cup more pumpkin than called for, but it sure doesn't hurt it any, and I have no recipe that only calls for a half cup pumpkin.

Very good for gifts!  I even cut back on the sugar and oil slightly for health reasons and no one notices the difference!

This is the best pumpkin bread!  I added rum soaked raisins to the batter and I also doubled the spices which really brought out the flavor.  Delicious!!!!!

I made this recipe for muffins and mini muffins and they were wonderful!  I tried a small loaf pan of bread but it seemed to get too done on top before the middle.  A dense bread!  Excellent for muffins....I took them to preschool for snack and kept some for home!  I'll use this one again!!!!

I've made 2 batches of this yummy bread for the holidays as gifts.  Of course we taste-tested 1st...really, really good!  I added chopped pecans to one batch.  ONLY PROBLEM I ENCOUNTERED WAS: had to cook for at least 15 mins longer than recommended for 1st batch...it made 7 mini loaves.  2nd batch I made 3 minis and 1 reg. sz. loaf...cooked 20 mins longer for the lg., 10 mins longer for the minis.   Otherwise...GREAT!

I discovered this recipe about a year ago and have made it at least 20 times. Everyone raves about it it is simply delicious! My daughter likes to eat a slice of this bread with a dallop of whipped cream on top- it tastes just like pumpkin pie only better. Highly recommended!!

MMMM MMMM MMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!  This pumpkin bread recipe is the best ever!  I made it last year for the first time and it's wonderful, only change I made is I added more spices and added Craisins to one loaf, chocolate chips to one, raisins to one, and left the rest plain (made a lot).  I actually think it's best plain!  Oh and the bread has a gorgeous color and TASTE, even my four and five year old cousins loved it! :o)

I've been asked to make this again and again. We added walnuts and/or raisins with yummy results. Little loafs make great winter-holiday gifts.

Scaled this recipe to make 1 9X5 loaf; maybe that was the beginning of the end. I found this bread to be very dry & there was no "pumpkin" flavor at all. I will not make this again it was very disappointing. Sorry.

This pumpkin bread is dense, moist, and flavorful.
