Absolutely amazing. Moist and rich right out of the oven, its just as good the next day out of the toaster. A perfectly sweet breakfast, snack or just because.

Very tasty, but it took over an hour and a half to bake. I had to keep checking it every 10 minutes.

This is the best pumpkin bread I have ever made! It is very moist and flavorful. Took a loaf to a social function and it was gone so fast!

I added extra spices and made it with two layers of cream cheese instead of one. I also make muffins with a cream cheese filling. Everyone loved them! (I also used regular cream cheese) :-) I am giving these away as Christmas gifts this year in small stoneware pans that I got from abcdistributing.

I made two loaves of this bread, they both turned out very dry for a quick bread. My family has been making quick bread for decades, and this would be one of the worst we have ever tried. Flavor is good, but quick breads are supposed to be nice and moist. Think I'll just incorporate pumpkin into the quick bread recipe I already have, and do the cream cheese layer in it. At least that way I no my bread will come out looking like the one in the picture.

This recipe was awful! I followed the recipe, but it never cooked thoroughly. I even baked it for 90 minutes. It came out with a weird pumpkin pie consistency which was not tasty. From what I could eat, I have to agree with the previous raters; it was bland and a waste of ingredients.
