Hey everyone!!
I’ll keep this post short and sweet. There’s two parts, but of course we have to talk about food first, right?!? I know there are a million pumpkin bread recipes on the internet. And for good reason! It’s darn delicious! I’ve made several recipes over the years, but I ran across one that I love! It’s extremely simple – which is great news when you need a treat to take your neighbor! And it’s also not too pumpkin-y or too sweet. Does that even make sense? Haha!
So, if you don’t already have an amazing pumpkin bread recipe, here’s a great one!
Easy delicious pumpkin bread
Ingredients
- 1 15 oz can pumpkin puree
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 2/3 c water
- 3 c sugar
- 3 1/2 c flour
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp cloves
- 1/4 tsp ginger
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease two loaf pans (really grease them good - it's the secret to your bread not sticking in the pan and breaking!)
- Meanwhile, combine all of the ingredients EXCEPT for the flour and mix well. Slowly add in the flour and stir until just combined. I like to sift my flour as I put it in to get out any flour lumps.
- Bake at 350 for 50 minutes. If a toothpick comes out clean, you can remove it from the oven and cool on a baking rack. If it's not done, turn the oven down to 325 and continue baking until a toothpick comes out clean - check every 5 minutes. Mine took an extra 15 minutes to bake.
- Cool and enjoy!
