Pumpkin Bread
I found this recipe on Grace Violet and decided to try it out this afternoon. It is absolutely delicious and very easy. It's a win-win. I plan on wrapping up my mini loaves and giving them out for a birthday present. I may also make these for the ladies I visit teach for a Thanksgiving treat. Oh, and it's supposed to be even better the 2nd and 3rd day if you can believe it!
Ingredients:
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin
4 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
2/3 cup water
3 cups sugar
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 5 mini loaf pans (also makes great muffins).
In a large bowl, mix together pumpkin, eggs, oil, water and sugar until well blended. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Stir the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture until just blended.
Pour into the prepared pans.Bake for about 30-40 minutes in the preheated oven. Loaves are done when toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Note: Some of my loaves didn't complete cook (even when I increased the time to 50 minutes). I remember, while filling the pans, that it looked like a lot of batter in each pan. So, I'm not sure if I just had smaller-than-average mini-loaf pans or what. Next time I will probably try making muffins or a normal-size loaf of bread.
