Pumpkin Bread

I realized last night that I never posted two recipes that Dina requested a few weeks ago  – I’m sorry about the oversight!  So I’m posting them now. 🙂  The adaptations I make are in the parentheses.

Pumpkin Bread

  • 15 oz canned pumpkin, or 2 c. cooked pumpkin
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 c. oil (we use coconut oil or butter)
  • 2/3 c. water
  • 3/4 – 1 c. sugar (I use sucanat and usually reduce the amounts of sweeteners called for, so I wouldn’t use more than 1/2 c. probably)
  • 3 1/2 c. flour (whole wheat)
  • 2 t. baking soda
  • 1 1/2 t. salt (sea salt)
  • 1 t. cinnamon
  • 1 t. nutmeg
  • 1/2 t. cloves
  • 1/4 t. ginger

Mix the pumpkin, eggs, oil, and water.  In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients.  Then mix the wet and dry ingredients together until just mixed – quick breads will be tough if they are overmixed.  Put in three greased loaf pans.  Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes.
