Pumpkin Walnut Bread Machine Mix
Love it or hate it--this is the most resourceful bread you'll ever find!
You can do anything with this! You can make sandwiches, French toast, and bread pudding and it makes fine morning toast with your favorite jam.
A bacon and bean sandwich is impressive. Cowboys and lumberjacks love it. So do I.
This is not your ordinary pumpkin bread. It's unlike any pumpkin bread you've tried. This is not a sweet bread--like banana bread. It's a yeast bread. You'll love this pumpkin walnut bread just the way it is.
But people really do love it or hate it. A lot more love it than hate it--about six to one. If you're looking for a sweet bread, you'll be disappointed. If you're looking for a flavorful, do-anything bread, try it.

What you need to know about pumpkin walnut bread
- Hey, there are people who don't like it! What's the deal? Maybe they're expecting a sweet bread. You don't make a bacon and beans grilled cheese sandwich on a sweet bread. But bread pudding is sweet and this makes a great pudding. (See the recipe.) It really is a love/hate thing. But some of us really love it.
- Okay, what is this? It's an everyday bread mix, not a dessert bread, and it's not sweet.
- What does it taste like? Pumpkin. It's loaded with pumpkin, but a touch of molasses and brown sugar takes the edge off the earthy pumpkin. But don't mistake it for a pumpkin pie.
- Cowboys and lumberjacks? Do you have to be a guy to like this bread? Oh, no. Read the reviews. Anyone can love this bread, and it does have a lot of flavor.
- What about the walnuts? Yep, they're generous. It's nice to have some crunch in your sandwich or French toast. Nothing wrong with walnuts in a sandwich.
- What if I decide to make bread pudding? Well, now you are sweet. It's still not pumpkin pie, but it's a luscious, memorable dessert.

You can do everything with it. This pumpkin bread makes fabulous French toast. You can make dinner rolls. If you really want to delight your family, make cinnamon rolls. Or make a simple loaf and a cream cheese spread flavored with your family's favorite jam.
That's hero stuff.
"Amazing! So far, this is our favorite bread machine bread of all time! Generous amount of walnuts and perfectly spiced!"
"I love pumpkin anything. This bread had hints of molasses and brown sugar with my favorite fall spices: cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice. It baked beautifully in my bread machine. Will definitely bake more of this bread. Loved the slice with whipped cream cheese." Sylvia Jacobus
"Awesome. A very delicious bread, our family consumed it on one day. Toasted or plain it’s the best sandwich bread ever. We love it!" Elaine Post
This pumpkin bread works fine in a bread machine, but we usually make it in the oven. If you let it rise until it almost has blisters, it will make an enormous loaf.
This is a do-anything bread. Give it a try.
