Auntie Dona’s Pumpkin Bread

Coat 2 standard sized loaf pans with cooking spray, or prepare muffin tins with cupcake liners. Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl or a stand mixer. Add the wet ingredients and mix till well blended. Pour into the prepared pans.

Bake loaves at 325 degrees F for 1 to 1 ½ hours, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. You may have to cover them with foil during the last 20 minutes to prevent the tops from getting too dark. Bake muffins at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Store, well-wrapped in plastic wrap or in a zippy bag, in the refrigerator. Freezes well, too.

Note: I like to substitute walnut oil for the vegetable oil for flavor and nutritional reasons. Also, for a slightly different flavor, substitute brown sugar for the white sugar.
