It's Fall...Pumpkin Please!

Friends,

Here is another go to recipe for this wonderful season that is upon us. I know we are having fall like weather while many of my Texas friends are still in flip flops and tank tops. However, it is FALL by the calendar so....

Pumpkin Bread

3 1/2 c all purpose flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp each of nutmeg, cloves and cinnamon
1 1/2 c each granulated sugar and packed brown sugar
1 c oil
2 c canned pumpkin (not pie mix)
4 eggs

Stir together flour, baking powder and soda, salt and spices. Add sugars and mix well.

Mix dry ingredient with oil and pumpkin. Stir until well combined. (I used my mixer.)

Add eggs, one at a time, blend thoroughly. Pour into 2 greased and floured loaf pans.

Bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes (or cake tester comes out clean in the middle). Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Mine baked yesterday for 50 minutes. My two mini loaves for 20-25 minutes each.

If you have to use pumpkin pie mix instead of pumpkin, please note it will be a drier bread. Not a bad thing, just different. So then you will need to use my next recipe of Pumpkin Cream Cheese. Don't worry. Either way, you will be happy!

Happy Eating! Enjoy!
