Ingredients

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup freshly-squeezed orange juice
  • Zest of 1 orange
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp salt
Glaze ingredients:
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • t tsp water

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, beat sugar, oil, eggs, pumpkin, orange juice, and orange zest. Set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining dry ingredients. Pour pumpkin mixture into bowl with dry ingredients, and stir until no lumps remain.
  3. Lightly grease and flour loaf pans or muffin pans. (This recipe will fill about 8 mini loaf pans, or 3 regular loaf pans or 24 muffins.) Fill pans or muffin cups 3/4 full.
  4. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes (muffins), 20 minutes (mini loaves), or 25-30 minutes (regular loaves). Check with a toothpick or fork (should come out clean).
  5. Remove bread from pans and place on a wire rack to cool, covered with a clean towel. While cooling, mix powdered sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Add just enough water to make a glaze. Poke tops of bread with a fork or toothpick, and drizzle the glaze over the warm bread.
  6. Slice bread with a thin serrated knife and serve warm, or allow bread to finish cooling, and store in a sealed bag or container.

Notes

  • This easy pumpkin spice bread can be frozen, too. Skip glazing and allow your bread to cool completely. Then place in a well sealed bag or container. For the best flavor, don’t freeze it more than a month ahead.

  • You can add any nuts you love to this recipe. My favorites - pecans and chopped walnuts. Mix up to ½ a cup into the batter or sprinkle the nuts on top with the glaze.

  • Glaze Tips: For too thick glaze, just add some more water. If you’ve made it too thin, add more powdered sugar (you might need to add more cinnamon, too.) The glaze hardens in about 30 minutes or so.
