Pumpkin Bread

If you are looking for the absolute best Pumpkin Bread recipe, look no further than this post. 

 I have been using this recipe since I was 15 years old - I think I originally found it in a magazine but have adapted it over the years to perfection. 

Here it is:

Pumpkin Bread

**This recipe makes 2 loaves! I figure most people want to eat one and maybe give one to a friend. Or just eat 2!! If you are interested in making only 1 loaf, just cut the recipe in half. 

Ingredients:

1 29oz  can Pure Pumpkin 
1/2 cup veggie oil

4 eggs

1 stick or 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softend

1.5 cups sugar
1 cup brown sugar, lightly packed

4 cups flour

1 tsp salt

1.5 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp ground cloves

3 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg 

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 and grease 2 loaf pans. 

In a large bowl or bowl of an electric mixer if you have one, beat together sugars and butter until blended.  Add eggs one at a time and blend. Add pumpkin and oil and blend. 

In a separate, medium bowl, mix together dry ingredients- flour, salt, baking soda and spices. I use a whisk to make sure everything gets mixed thoroughly. 

Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring after each addition until combined. It should look like it's ready now and good enough to eat! 

Pour batter evenly into loaf pans. Bake for approximately 65-75 minutes. If you are using mini loaf pans, they should only need about 30 minutes. 

These will be good enough to eat plain, fresh out of the oven!

Enjoy!
