Pumpkin Bread

I make this recipe ALL the time. My husband really likes it.  It’s great for the fall season! If you have fresh pumpkin, you can use that here as well! This recipe makes 2 loaves, but you can halve the ingredients to make 1 loaf!

Note- might need to cover with tin foil towards the last 20 min of baking. if you start to smell that it's burning- then just cover it with foil.

Also made this as pumpkin muffins. Baked for 20 min.

Pumpkin Bread (~from allrecipes.com)

Ingredients:

1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree 4 eggs 1 cup vegetable oil 2/3 cup water 3 cups white sugar 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking soda 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

Directions:

1.	Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 7x3 inch loaf pans. (I usually just bake it in 2 two standard 8.5x4.5 loaf pans)
2.	In a large bowl, mix together pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, water and sugar until well blended. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger. Stir the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture until just blended. Pour into the prepared pans.
3.	Bake for about 50 minutes in the preheated oven. Loaves are done when toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. (Since I use larger loaf pans, it can take 60-70 minutes to bake. You might want to cover with some aluminum foil to prevent over-browning of the top of the bread)
