This Green Sweet Bread is more of a dessert type loaf than a sandwich bread, it is moist and light and not thick like a banana bread.

I used canned pumpkin here but you can certainly use fresh. Canned pumpkin does so much better in recipes.

      I actually eyebvalled what I knew would do it. Start with maybe a 1/4 cup then add to your own taste. They offer the crunch you would like with your bread. They dont offer much taste really. I hope that helps. I do hate when people say “as desired”. Sometimes you just think you may like so many, but the next time add more or less. With add-ins like that I decide the amount on how i am feeling today. LOL

    Great recipe that I definitely will try. Do you add the walnuts to the mix? I wasn’t sure because it was listed in the ingredients. Love your recipes and will definitely try it.

    Thanks

      Heh Maria, you made me go back to see. The recipe doesn’t call for them, but I did add them since I had an open package and wanted the crunch. I added them to the batter and would have added some to the top but I ran out. I never caught I didn’t add them to the recipe since it was an afterthought! Thank you for the kind words and am glad you like the parties. Each one draws different guests so even though some links are the same there are also many neww ones between them! Enjoy.

      I think the addition of the pudding is what makes it moist and not crumble. I love #WhatsForDinner!
