Do you have any idea how I could convert this to gluten free?
I am not positive that it will work perfectly because I haven’t tried it, but you could substitute Bob’s Red Mill gluten free baking mix for the flour (you can buy it here on Amazon.com). Let me know how it works if you try it. Otherwise, you could search for an alternate recipe online. 🙂
How long should I bake this if I put it in small loaf pans? This sounds so yummy!!
I would check them after 20-25 minutes depending on your oven. If a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean they are ready.
Thanks for this recipe! I was just going to search for a pumpkin bread that calls for fresh pumpkin! Perfect timing! 🙂
Woohoo! Make sure that you drain it well. 🙂
Thanks again for the recipe! It turned out great! I didn’t have any nuts, so I skipped the topping, but it was still a yummy and moist recipe!
I am so glad. Thanks for letting me know Katy. 🙂
