I got the hankerin' to make some pumpkin bread today. It's in the oven and the house smells soooo wonderful right now! Here is my favorite recipe using canned pumpkin:
Downeast Maine Pumpkin Bread
INGREDIENTS
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
4 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
2/3 cup water
3 cups white sugar
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 7x3 inch loaf pans.
In a large bowl, mix together pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, water and sugar until well blended. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger. Stir the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture until just blended. Pour into the prepared pans.
Bake for about 50 minutes in the preheated oven. Loaves are done when toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
The only thing I altered this time was using 1/4 tsp ground cloves instead of 1/2 tsp. The cloves tend to overwhelm the bread, so we'll see how this batch turns out!!
Edited:
Here is the finished product and the lesser amount of cloves is just right :)

I cannot find canned pumpkin at any store. The stories of a shortage must be true! |
