Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie mix
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1 3/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts optional
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray or grease the bottom only of a 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan (approx 1.5 quarts volume). Greasing only the bottom aids in a well-rounded top and an even split down the middle of the bread.
  • Whisk together the pumpkin, sugar, eggs, oil, and water in a medium bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the flour, nuts (if using), soda, salt and pumpkin pie spice well.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix only until blended…do not overmix. Batter will be thin!!!
  • Pour into prepared pan and bake for 60-65 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • About 12 servings.
