Yummy Pumpkin Bread Recipe
Pumpkin Bread
10/19/07 - How many of your neighbors have pumpkins on their doorsteps? If you've visited us, you may have bought up enough New England Pie Pumpkins (3 or 4 of the smaller softball size)and have the makings of a nice treat on your doorstep. If you’re looking to start a neighborhood tradition, or simply want something delicious to snack on this fall, try this recipe:
Ingredients:
1 ½ cups of canola oil
1 can of pumpkin (or 16 ounces of fresh, cooked pumpkin)
5 eggs
2 cups of sugar
3 cups of flour
2 tsp. of baking soda
1 tsp. of salt
1 tsp. of nutmeg
1 tsp. of cinnamon
2 small packages of instant coconut pudding
1 cup of chopped pecans (optional)
Directions:
Sift dry ingredients together.
Add remaining ingredients, and mix well.
Grease and flour loaf plans.
Bake at 325 degrees F for 1 hour or until done.
(Makes three 1-pound loaves or six to eight smaller loaves.)
No matter the reason, pumpkin bread just seems to taste better when the weather cools. Share it with neighbors, eat it with family, or make it a part of your Thanksgiving Day feast. So go grab some fresh pumpkins and cook them down, or get a can of your favorite brand to cook with. Because it’s fall – let’s make the most of the season! (Yum!)
