Yummy Pumpkin Bread

[BeccaOH]

Pumpkin Bread
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
4 eggs (used 4 small duck eggs)
1/2 cup Canola oil
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 cups brown sugar
2/3 cup white sugar
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup raisins (or more )

Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans (I did one of those and 3 mini loaves approx 3x5). Preheat oven to 350.

In a large bowl, mix together pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, applesauce, and sugars until well blended. In a separate bowl, blend 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 approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes (or 40 minutes for mini loaves). Loaves are done when toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

I used to love pumpkin bread. With all that sugar & flour, I just can't do it anymore. Now I make pumpkin pancakes and swap almond meal for the flour. It takes care of my pumpkin cravings without making my head explode

Both recipes sound great! Here is mine:

Pumpkin Breadmakes 3 loaves
3 cups pumpkin puree
cup vegetale oil
cup applesauce
2 cups white sugar
6 eggs
4 cups whole-wheat pastry flour or AP flour
1 t baking soda
1 t salt
1 t ground cinnamon
1 t ground nutmeg
1 t ground cloves
1 t baking powder

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 9x5 inch loaf pans.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the pumpkin, oil, sugar, and eggs. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves; stir into the pumpkin mixture until well blended. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
3. Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour. The top of the loaf should spring back when lightly pressed.

Note: Mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts or whole fresh/frozen cranberries make great add-ins.

Can cut this recipe in thirds for only 1 loaf of bread. Also makes wonderful
muffinsjust bake 20 min instead of 45-60.

How long can you freeze tightly wrapped (several layers) sweet breads? I was thinking yesterday about the baskets I want to make up for Christmas gifts, and wondered how early I can start baking. Thanks....
