Homemade Pumpkin Bread

Yep, I've been a baking full but when you have a lot of pumpkin to use you bake a lot of things.

This will make 1 loaf. If you double the recipe you can make 2 loaves.

1 1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup oil

2 eggs

1/3 cup water

1 1/2 cup flour

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup mashed pumpkin puree

1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Beat together sugar, oil, eggs and water. Combine dry ingredients and add to sugar mixture. Mix well. Add pumpkin and nuts; mix well. Pour into a greased and floured 9x5 loaf pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 6o to 70 min. Check with a toothpick or cake tester. Let cool in the pan on a rack for 10 min. before turning the loaf out. Let the loaf cool on the rack with a tea towel over it until it is cold. Then wrap the cold loaf in saran or aluminum foil. Will keep at room temp for a couple of days, after that store in the fridge. Or you can freeze.
