Pumpkin Bread

This bread is great! I found the recipe on Epicurious and have made it twice in 3 days! I made a minor change and that was to add 2 1/2 cups of sugar instead of 3. I might even just make it with 2 cups next time. Also, I made one loaf and regular-sized muffins and mini-muffins. The regular muffins cooked in about 30 minutes and the mini-muffins in about 20 minutes.
