Instead of making my usual persimmon cookies and persimmon pudding I tried this one and it turned out great. I did substitute another 1/2 cup persimmon pulp for the 1/2 cup applesauce. This bread isn't too sweet and I like the use of whole wheat flour and oatmeal.

This bread is delicious. I used 1 1/2 c. sugar, 3 tsp. Garam Masala Indian spices blend (instead of the other spices), 1 c. persimmon and 1 c. banana, and added walnuts. Wonderful and unusual. Great with Tetley Cardamom Tea.

I used this recipe to use up pulp I had left over from making fresh juices. I had been looking for a good recipe to use it up and this one called for quite a bit of pulp. The pulp I had used consisted of apple, beet, celery, and lots of carrot. It worked great! it was a little heavy on the all spice for me - but it is still really delicious. half went into a loaf, the other half went into muffins which I baked for around 30 min. The taste great!

I made this bread according to the directions, adding about 3/4 cup of chopped nuts as well. The result tastes good, but be warned that it is VERY dense and heavy. More so than a normal banana bread or pumpkin bread. I was thinking of giving these for gifts, but I have to say that I don't think they're good enough for that. Time to try a different recipe!

Persimmons on their own didn't have much flavor but the bread was moist, hearty and yummy! I loved it.

Thank you for sharing this recipe. We had some persimmons that our grands had picked from a friend's tree and had no idea how to use them. The recipe you shared with us turned out great...we added a banana since we were just shy of the 2 cup suggested amount of persimmon. Everyone loved the results.
