Description

This is the best pumpkin bread of all time. I’m not just saying that because it’s my boyfriend’s mother’s recipe! This bread will change your life. Before you know it you have eaten a whole loaf. Just you watch.

Ingredients

  • 3-½ cups Flour
  • 3 cups Sugar
  • 1-½ teaspoon Salt
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
  • 4 whole Eggs
  • 15 ounces, weight Can Of Pumpkin
  • 1 cup Cooking Oil
  • ⅔ cups Water
  • 1 cup Chopped Nuts (optional)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350F. If making mini muffins, preheat oven to 335F.

Mix all ingredients together, except the nuts. Once thoroughly mixed, stir in the nuts if you choose to add them.

Pour into two greased loaf pans (or 8 mini loaf pans). Or mini muffin pans, if using.

Bake for one hour (30 minutes if doing small loaf pans). If making mini muffins, cook for 12 minutes.

This is very yummy! I made it with a Cinderella pumpkin and used a little less water. Very moist and spongy.

I liked the bread, but found it a bit plain. I think if I’d added raisins, chocolate chips or some topping I would’ve liked it better. It also had A LOT of sugar compared to some of the other recipes I’ve come across. It wasn’t bad, but with that much sugar it wasn’t good enough for me to make again.

This was a very good Pumpkin Bread! I was even more excited that this recipe uses one can of pumpkin (15ozs) and most other recipes use 16ozs which I never understood why. I think I have overbaked mine but it was still moist in the middle. I also added a crumb topping with Butter, Flour, Sugar, and Cinnamon. Good Job!
