Pumpkin Bread 2

 


I had made pumpkin flan and still had ¾ cup of canned pumpkin left which is why I tried this pumpkin bread recipe. I always use this pumpkin bread recipe, but I would definitely use this recipe again next time I have some leftover canned pumpkin.

 

Pumpkin Bread (~from dessertfortwo)

 

Ingredients

·        1 cup granulated sugar

·        ½ cup light brown sugar

·        1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour

·        1 teaspoon baking soda

·        ¾ teaspoon salt

·        2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

·        ¾ cup canned pumpkin puree*

·        2 large eggs, beaten

·        ½ cup flavorless oil

·        ⅓ cup water

·        1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

1.      Preheat the oven to 350, and spray a 9x5" bread loaf pan with cooking spray. Ensure a rack is in the center position of the oven.

2.      In a large bowl, whisk together the sugars, flour, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.

3.      Make a hole in the center of the mixture, and add all remaining ingredients: pumpkin, eggs, oil, water and vanilla.

4.      Stir everything together very well, but try not to over-mix.

5.      Scrape the batter into the pan, and place in the oven. Bake for 60 minutes, and then test the center of the bread for wetness with a long toothpick. If the toothpick comes out clean, the bread is done. If not, add another 5 minutes of baking time and test again. Ensure the bread is fully done before you remove it from the oven or it will sink as it cools!

Notes

Pumpkin: Be sure to buy canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.

·        Oil: Flavorless oils are: vegetable oil, canola oil, grapeseed oil or avocado oil. Anhything that won't impart flavor to the bread.

·        Storage: Let it cool completely and then slice it into thick slices. Place the slices flat in an air-tight bag. The slices will keep on the counter at room temperature for up to 2 days. Beyond that, store in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can freeze the slices for up to 3 months, and defrost in the microwave as needed to serve.
