Pumpkin bread from Sunrise Bakery in Titusville, FL has more zucchini in it than pumpkin. At least that's what I'm assuming from the ingredient list for the bread.

I've tried several recipes over the years and have never found one as good...this bread made perfect crisp toast. Even CI's version wasn't as good...and that involved spreading pumpkin purée on paper towels to remove excess moisture.

From their website:

Pumpkin Nut: Sugar, unbleached white flour, zucchini, pumpkin, vegetable oil, eggs, pecans, baking soda, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves.

 
This is the one I

Spicy Pumpkin Bread
This is a yummy holiday staple.

3/4 cup butter or margarine
2 1/2 cup sugar
4 eggs
1 (1 lb) can pumpkin
2/3 cup water
3 1/2 cup unbleached flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. ground cloves
2/3 cup chopped walnuts

Cream butter and sugar in a large bowl. Add eggs, one at a time beating thoroughly. Mix in pumpkin and water.

In a separate bowl, combine remaining ingredients and blend into pumpkin mixture a little at a time; keep stirring until thoroughly blended.

Grease and flour 2 loaf pans, poor batter dividing between the both pans. Bake in a 350° oven for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until toothpick come out clean. Cool 15 minutes before removing from pan.

Note: This bread tastes even spicier if made a day ahead and wrapped in plastic till you’re ready to serve.

Servings: 2 loaves

 
Interesting...in addition to zucchini this REC also includes maple extract. Thx, GayR!

OOPS! The title of my recipe above should have been: Pumpkin Spice Bread! I need more coffee....

 
No zukes in this REC either, but it's very good! Pumpkin Ribbon Bread.

Pumpkin Ribbon Bread--from COUNTRY WOMAN magazine, Nov/Dec 1987.

Filling:
2 packages (3 ounces each) cream cheese, softened (I use the full 8-ounce package. Wigs)
1/3 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon flour
1 egg
2 teaspoons grated orange peel

Bread:
1 cup cooked pumpkin puree
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
1-1/2 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1-2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup chopped pecans

For filling, beat cream cheese, sugar and flour together in small bowl. Add egg; mix to blend. Stir in orange peel; set aside.

Make bread by combining pumpkin, oil and eggs in large bowl. Add sugar, salt, cloves, cinnamon, flour, baking soda and pecans; mix to blend. Pour one-quarter of batter into two greased and floured 7-1/2-x 3-1/2-x 3-inch loaf pans. (I also line bottoms with parchment paper that I spray with PAM.) Carefully spread the cream cheese mixture over batter. Add remaining batter, covering filling. Bake at 325 degrees for 1-1/2 hours or until bread tests done with wooden pick. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pans. Store in refrigerator.

NOTE: This is really pretty when sliced and fanned on a serving plate. Caryn aka Wigs
