The house will smell amazing while this is baking! After the holidays (January-ish), a lot of holiday items go on sale. That’s a gimme. One item that usually is on sale, is the canned pumpkin. My hubby, who does my grocery shopping (bless him!), came home with a couple cans of pumpkin. Soooo, I thought I’d give this recipe a whirl. Enjoy!

1 & 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup oil
1 cup pumpkin
1 & 3/4 cups of Flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cloves
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/3 cup water
optional… 1/2 cup walnuts or pecans
optional… 1/2 cup raisins
HOW TO
oven at 350°
Too easy.
grease and flour one loaf pan. Set aside.
In a large bowl, add all ingredients in order given stirring after each addition. Pour into your prepared loaf pan and bake for 1 hour. Test done-ness with a knife or toothpick. It should come out clean if the bread is done baking. If not, put back in oven and test every 5 minutes for done-ness.
I did a bit of butter, honey and a sprinkle of cinnamon over my two pieces. Hubby loved the bread. Enjoy! Oh and i didn’t have the nuts or raisins on hand.
