Pumpkin Bread . . . . mmmmmmmm. One of my favorite things. I have made 2 batches in 2 weeks, so I thought I'd post the recipe. This makes 2 9x5 loaves or 3 7x3 loaves.
Pumpkin Bread
1 15 oz can pumpkin
4 eggs
1 cup veg. oil
2/3 c. water
2 1/2 cup sugar (I use half brown sugar)
3 1/2 cups flour (I use whole wheat* and it's still really moist)
2 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. Pumpkin Pie spice**
Chocolate chips, optional (but a must in our house)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour pans. In a large bowl mix pumpkin, eggs, oil, water and sugar until well blended. In a separate bowl (if you want more dishes to wash, if not, just put in the same bowl as everything else), stir flour, baking soda, salt, spice, and choc. chips. Stir until just blended and pour into pans. Bake for 50-60 minutes until toothpick comes out clean.
*I use flour called White Whole Wheat. King Arthur flour makes it and it doesn't have a strong wheat taste like regular whole wheat flour.
**Pumpkin pie spice is pretty expensive and I can't find it here! Thank goodness for the internet where I found a recipe for Pumpkin Pie Spice.
Pumpkin Pie Spice
1/4 c. Cinnamon
2 Tbsp. Nutmeg
1 Tbsp. Ginger
1 Tbsp. Cloves OR Allspice, depending on what you have or like.
