This was really good. I actually substituted banana cream pudding instead of coconut cream. I also had to bake it a little bit more. Like I said this was great.

I was hesitant to make because of coconut pudding but decided to halve the recipe and make just one loaf. I have a convection oven and kept checking and checking, but the bread never seemed to fulle cook in the middle, but started to really brown on outside. Almost to the point of being burnt. I finally just took it out after almost two hours. I thought it was ruined. But after allowing to cool, the bread had a "crust" on outside and was just like pumpkin pie in the middle. The taste was good, but consistency was a little weird.

This pumpkin bread was absolutely the best I have ever had. Moist, sweet, DELICIOUS!!!!! As per previous reviews, I also made some changes to this recipe. I used 1 C white and 1C brown sugar, used 1 pack coconut and 1 pack cheesecake instant pudding, added 2 t baking powder, and 2 t pumpkin pie spice. It took about 1 hr 15 minutes to bake and it made 3 disposable-loaf-pan sized loaves. You cannot taste the coconut (for those of you who were turned off by it) but the pudding flavor sweetens the bread so it really does taste like pumpkin pie in sweet bread form, just as the recipe says. Give this bread a try if you are looking for a sweet pumpkin bread...it is so moist and scrumptous. But be prepared...it's addictive!!!!

This is the tastiest, yummiest pumpkin bread I've ever tasted! Everyone at my house loves it. I even took it to a Fall Festival Bake Sale at my daughter's school recently and it sold out quickly!

This was sooo good. I only had one box of instant banana pudding on hand so thats what i used. I also added the suggested baking powder, cut some oil and baked it 15 minutes longer. I will definitely make this again.

The texture was very much like pumpkin pie. The recipe needed more spice though.

This bread is great! I made one loaf and 12 muffins with my batch. I did add the 2 tsp. or baking powder and I could only find the non-instant pudding mix, but it didn't seem to affect the product. SOOO super moist and flavorful!!!

This recipe did not turn out for me. The bread did not rise. It turned out very oily. Very dissappointed.

I love this recipe and make it a few times every fall. I always substitute the oil for applesauce, the white flour with whole wheat flour, and the sugar with splenda. I also use more baking soda to help it rise. It turns out almost exactly the same but has way fewer calories and it makes it very healthy. My three year old gobbles it up!! So do all my friends!

I also had to change a few things - added 1tsp of baking soda, 1tsp of baking powder, plus one cup of brown sugar and reduced the white sugar to 1cup. Usually, I just throw in a little cinnamin, nutmeg, and ginger - but I don't measure. Pumpkin pie spice would be great too! My husband and I both really hate coconut, but it really can't be tasted in this recipe. The first time I made it with one box (rather than 2), and it was superb! Even with the full 2 boxes, it changes the flavor, but nothing is distinctly coconut - just super moist! Great to eat right out of the oven or frozen for later!

Great pumpkin bread!! I followed some of the other suggestions and added 2 teaspoons of baking powder. I also reduced the amount of oil that I added to the mix. My oven's not the greatest so I had to bake and extra 15 minutes too. The bread came out nice and moist and delicious!! I would totally recomend this to everyone!!

My husband loved this bread with the coconut pudding. I was a little less enthused,as I am not a coconut fan. But very moist and tender. Will make again for my husband and kids.

I've been making this recipe now for about 4 years. It is a favorite here in our house. I make it a lot for playgroup too and always get asked for the recipe. Sometimes I use 1 coconut and 1 vanilla pudding, but it is excellent as is. I'd give this 90 stars if that was an option!

I added the baking powder and my bread still did not rise very much. I substituted 1/2 c. unsweetened apple sauce for 1/2 c. of oil and only used 1/2 c. oil for a total of 1 cup. Used 1 cup splenda and 1 cup sugar. Otherwise I followed the recipe. It has a good flavor but is VERY dense and EXTREMELY moist - which is not a bad thing. I have made other pumpkin bread that I like better so probably will not make this again.
