Are you right into celebrating fall with all the delicious recipes that involve pumpkin? I personally can’t get enough of that wonderful fall veggie in sweet and savory dishes. I made this Pumpkin Maple Walnut Loaf and it was devoured in a day!
A huge hit in this household. I know Amber’s friend Brooklyn loved it and mom has asked for the recipe. Here you go Barbara!
This is a great recipe that I adapted from a banana bread recipe that I have used for years from Martha Stewart, but like most of my recipes that are adapted only the bones are left as I have inhanced and altered it to a new wonderful creation.
Fall Spices
This recipe has lots of wonderful spice that you want when using pumpkin in a loaf. Cinnamon, ginger, cloves and nutmeg, make this bread into a scrumptious fall experience. The sweetness is upped with a little maple syrup that goes so well with the fantastically crunchy walnuts.
Moist and delicious and screaming of fall, you will love this wonderful loaf and so will your family. It will be devoured quickly so you may want to make two!

I made this bread today and it was wonderful. I was looking for a denser pumpkin bread with walnuts and this really was perfect! My oven is probably off as I ended up cooking it about 75 min in total.

Sometimes they do take longer to bake in different ovens for sure. So glad you are enjoying it. Have a great day!!

Oh this sounds so tempting. We can’t have walnuts in the house because of my daughter’s allergy so this is such a tease for me!
Tara Noland says
You could substitute raisins for the walnuts and it would be equally delicious!
