I haven't made pumpkin bread in a coon's age, but I recall that the recipe on the can of Libby's pumpkin is easy and very good. It's available at this link:
Libby's Pumpkin Bread
I made the linked recipe last night, using dried cranberries. Very easy, very good! Mine took 65 minutes at 350 degrees.
My photos below recipe. Will take a loaf to friends I'm visiting this weekend.
(Also, there are excellent cookie recipes in this thread that have gotten lost in the thread. If I remember, I will extract them someday and start threads for each.)
