Pumpkin Bread

Pumpkin. Pumpkin. Pumpkin.

         Friday was my Birthday! One of the things that I really wanted was a loaf pan! For some reason, I've never owned one. Casey got me two awesome non-stick ones. So, today I decided that I needed to make some kind of bread. Of course, I chose Pumpkin Bread. I've never made it before and I'm pretty sure I've never even had pumpkin bread! But it sounded good so I gave it a shot!

Kristen's Pumpkin Bread Recipe

Ingredients:

1 cup Canola Oil

2 2/3 Cups Granulated Sugar

4 Large Eggs

15 oz can of Pumpkin Puree

2/3 Cup of Water

3 1/3 Cups of All-Purpose Flour

1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder

2 Teaspoons Baking Soda

1 1/2 Teaspoons of Salt

1 Teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice

1/2 Teaspoon Cinnamon

1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a large mixing bowl combine oil, sugar, eggs, pumpkin and water. Beat until smooth
  3. Once mixture is smooth, add everything else and then stir together. Make sure you stir here and not beat.
  4. I used two 9 x 5 in. loaf pans. I filled the pans about half full of the mixture. 
  5. Place in the oven and bake for 50-70 minutes. Check on it at around 40 minutes will a tooth pick. Just make sure there is no unbaked mixture sitting on top. That might happen.
  6. Once the bread is fully cooked, let cool for 30 minutes before serving.
