Pumpkin Molasses Bread
Description
The Pumpkin Molasses Bread contains pumpkin purée and molasses alongside a blend of spices including cinnamon, ground ginger, and nutmeg, which give the loaf its characteristic flavor. The mixture of wet and dry ingredients is combined gently to preserve a tender crumb without overworking the batter. Baking at 350ºF in a buttered loaf pan results in a well-risen bread with a golden crust and moist interior. It finishes baking when a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with only a few crumbs attached.
This bread can be sliced for convenient serving at breakfast or as a snack alongside tea or coffee. The molasses adds a rich, slightly bittersweet depth that balances the natural sweetness of the pumpkin and sugar.
Ingredients
- 1 oz. can pumpkin $0.95, puree
- 2 large egg $0.58
- 1/3 cup neutral cooking oil $0.21, generic cooking oil
- 1/4 cup molasses $0.59
- 3/4 cup sugar $0.12
- 2 cups all-purpose flour $0.14
- 1 tsp cinnamon $0.10
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger $0.05
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg $0.05
- 1 tsp salt $0.05
- 1.5 tsp baking powder $0.05
- 1 tsp butter $0.03
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, eggs, oil, molasses, and sugar.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt, and baking powder.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl of wet ingredients, and stir them together just until combined. It's okay if there are a few small lumps. Avoid over stirring.
- Coat the inside of a loaf pan with butter. Pour the batter into the loaf pan and spread it out smooth.
- Bake the pumpkin bread for about one hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 200ºF, or a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (a few crumbs are okay, just no raw batter stuck to the toothpick).
- Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool, then slice and serve.
