Pumpkin bread

So, I know pumpkin is a fall ingredient. But I had some in the freezer to use. My kids fell in love with it. I made more after they inhaled the first loaf. In fact, it has taken me three loaves just to get this picture because they eat it faster than I can take one.

Here is the recipe (from Allrecipes.com)

Pumpkin Bread



Ingredients:

1 cup canned pumpkin puree
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
      (I just add about 1 tsp cinnamon plus 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice)
Directions

1.Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour 9x5 inch loaf pan.

2.In a large bowl, mix together the pumpkin, oil, sugar, and eggs. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves; stir into the pumpkin mixture until well blended. 

3.Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour. The top of the loaf should spring back when lightly pressed.



It was refreshing to find a pumpkin bread that didn't call for chocolate chips.  It's incredibly moist and your kids will die from the aroma when they walk in the door!
