Pumpkin Bread

It's fall and everything is all about Pumpkin. So... here is another great pumpkin recipe: pumpkin bread!  Crispy on the outside... fluffy on the inside... spiced perfectly.

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ Cups of Flour
• 1/2 cup Pumpkin Puree  
• 1 Tbsp of Pumpkin Pie Spice 
• ½ Cinnamon
• ½ tsp Baking Powder 
• ½ tsp Baking Soda 
• ½ tsp Salt
• 1 ½ Cups of Sugar 
• ½ cup of Vegetable Oil 
• 1 tsp of Vanilla extract 
• 2 Eggs

Preparation:

1) Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

2) Spray a 9 x 5” nonstick loaf pan with non stick cooking spray. Put parchment paper on the bottom and set aside.

3) In a small bowl mix together the first six ingredients and set aside.

4) In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all of the remaining ingredients. Once the wet mix is creamy, add in the dry ingredients. Mix well without over mixing. Scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula to make sure everything is incorporated.

5) Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake for 60 minutes or until cooked through. Insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out with no wet batter, it'd done! Let cool five minutes before transferring to a serving plate.

This can be eaten so many different ways... cold, heated in the microwave, toasted. Just store this in the fridge, and whenever you want it... dig in!

Grub on,
