I'm copying it here because the other website is annoying to read on a cell phone and I want to be able to find it quickly. I have to state a word of warning about this bread, though: it is SO delicious that you may not be able to keep from eating several slices a day and then, there's two loaves, so... I ended up eating practically a whole loaf myself in one week and gained four pounds! There's just something so... comfort food, earthly, homey about it that I just wanted to wallow in it.
I tried making an even healthier version, but it took all the best taste out of it. I've put my additions in parentheses. Some people also added chocolate chips, but that would make it more fattening, not less. I have tasted pumpkin bread with chocolate chips and it is indeed delicious but... well, maybe if you were giving it as a gift.
