Ingredients
- 1¾ cups all purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon cloves
- 1 pinch ginger
- 1 cup pumpkin purée (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 2 large eggs beaten
- ½ cup light olive oil or vegetable oil
- ¼ cup water
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts or hazelnuts)
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C). Lightly grease and flour an 8½ -9 inch (21-23 cm) loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger.
- In a large bowl add the puree, eggs, oil, water and sugar and combine well.
- Add the flour mixture and the nuts to the the puree mixture and mix just until combined. About 15-16 stirs, do not over mix.
- Pour into the prepared pan and bake for approximately 50 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- Instead of nuts you could add raisins, but be sure to place them in boiling water for about 15-20 minutes then drain well, this plumbs them up so that they don’t take any moisture from the bread while baking, that would lead to a dry not very appetizing loaf. Or even add some chocolate chips to the batter instead.
- If you wish you could frost with a simple cream cheese frosting.
- If you prefer you could make pumpkin muffins instead of a loaf. This recipe should give you approximately 12 muffins.
- Tightly wrap the cooled bread in plastic wrap, it can be kept at room temperature for two to three days. If you prefer you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
- This sweet bread can also be frozen whole or in individual slices. Tightly wrap the bread in plastic wrap or aluminum foil then place in a freezer bag or container. It will keep for up to three months in the freezer.
