It’s that time of the year when the cooler temperatures come, the leaves start to change color, and the house is filled with the wonderful scents of autumn. One of my favorites is pumpkin! My friend Sara over at tlithaquam gave me the best recipe for pumpkin bread, so good that I just had to share it with you. She says, “This is a combination of pumpkin bread recipes I’ve put together and have perfected. It will win everybody over.”
Makes:
3 loaves
What You Need:
- 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree (or 15 oz. fresh pumpkin)
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup veg. oil
- 2/3 cup water
- 3 cups white sugar
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground nutmeg
-1/2 tsp ground cloves
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
-1/2 cup toasted pumpkin seeds (optional)**
How to Make:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Grease and lightly flour three 7×3 inch loaf pans.
3. In large bowl, mix pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, water, and sugar until blended.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.
5. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture slowly until just blended.
6. Pour into the prepared pans. Bake for about 50 minutes in the preheated oven. Loaves are done when toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
**Toasted Pumpkin Seeds
Spread 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds out on cookie sheet sprayed with Butter-Flavored Pam or other non-stick spray. Toast in oven until seeds are light brown and crispy (only takes a few minutes). Sprinkle on top of pumpkin bread mixture just before putting pans into the oven to bake.
Enjoy!
