Pumpkin Bread

Ingredients

• 1 can (15 oz.) pumpkin puree
• 4 eggs
• 1 c. vegetable oil
• 2/3 c. water
• 3 c. sugar
• 3 1/2 c. flour
• 2 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp. ground nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp. ground cloves
• 1/4 tsp. ground ginger

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 2 (9” x 5”) loaf pans.
• 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 spices. Stir the flour mixture into the pumpkin mixture until just combined. Pour into the prepared pans.
• Bake 1 hour and 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes in the pans on a rack then turn the loaves out onto a rack to cool completely.

Notes

I like to put a piece of parchment paper in the bottom of the pan to help the loaves come out of the pans easily.
