Description

De-lish! Especially good when still warm from the oven. Makes quite a bit of batter that will work in muffins, mini loaves, etc. Don’t let the egg and oil quantities scare you … it’s moist for a reason (though I’m sure someone can tweak to make waist-friendly).

Ingredients

  • 3-½ cups All-purpose Flour
  • 1-½ teaspoon Salt
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
  • 3 cups Sugar
  • 1 cup Pecans, Chopped
  • 1 cup Vegetable Oil
  • 4 whole Eggs
  • ⅔ cups Water
  • 1 can Solid Pumpkin (15 Oz. Can)

Preparation

Sift flour, salt, and baking soda together in a medium bowl.

Combine cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar, pecans, and oil in a large bowl.

Add the flour mixture to the wet mixture. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly. Add water and canned pumpkin. First the batter will appear too thick and then too soupy, but it’s just fine.

Spread in prepared (greased and floured) pans of your choice—again, mini loaves, bread-sized loaf, muffin/cupcake pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 50-55 minutes depending on your pan.

I had one comment to make about the servings this recipe says it makes because I think it is underestimated. I am a fairly novice bread maker so when I first made this recipe, it looked like a huge amount of batter but I threw it all in one bread pan anyway and even 20 minutes after the allotted time it was soup in the middle. So that batch I ended up tossing.
The second time I made it I put it in two bread pans and it still looked like a lot so I cooked one and left the other aside just to see what happened. The first one after the 55 minutes was still really soupy in the middle but after an additional 15 minutes it turned out better. I then put the 2nd bread pan into a muffin tin instead and made 12 muffins with it. So I would say this at least makes two 9 x 5 bread tins or 24 muffins. You may have meant this and I think people with more experience would know just by sight. I just wanted to say this in case someone else w/ little to no bread making experience makes this. :)

Yummy, but I miss the butter. I didn’t add the water but put in extra pumpkin instead because I baked a pumpkin and it doesn’t produce 15 ounce cans of hermetically sealed pumpkin puree!!
