PUMPKIN BREAD

by Posted on

Pumpkin Bread is a family favorite. It is absolutely delicious and we never have any left. I like to serve it with coffee in the morning.
Pumpkin Bread
This bread is so good anytime of the year.  It also makes a great gift for friends and family.  This bread keeps well for several days and is great warmed over in the microwave or oven and slathered with butter and honey.

Pumpkin bread is easy and delicious.

3 cups pumpkin (I use a 28 oz. can) or fresh pumpkin
1 1/2 cups cooking oil (I use Canola)
4 cups white sugar
4 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cloves
 
 
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 3 loaf pans with cooking spray. Mix pumpkin, oil, sugar and eggs. Combine rest of ingredients and stir into pumpkin mixture until well blended. Divide
batter evenly between the 3 pans. Bake 45 minutes to 1 hour. Top of loaf should spring back when pressed. Can add nuts, raisins or mini chocolate chips.
This is the best pumpkin bread you will ever make. It is very moist. You can add nuts, raisins or craisins to this bread if you like but we like it better just plain.
Sometimes, I make several different sizes of loaves to give away.   Enjoy!
