Mama, this really looks like an excellent bread. I have to make this. I bet a slice would be so good with some whipped cream or even a slather of cream cheese on it. Does the finish product turn out with the texture of a pumpkin bread?

like a banana bread-type - to me this is not as heavy as some pumpkin bread recipes
