As promised, I'm back with my Pumpkin Loaf recipe so you can use up the rest of your big can of pumpkin from your pumpkin pie!
Lisa's pumpkin loaf
This is a super easy recipe that makes two 9"x5" loaves. If you prefer a lighter version, substitute the oil for 1 cup unsweetened apple sauce.
what you need:
3 1/2 cups flour
3 cups sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground cloves
2/3 cup water
4 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil (or try 1 cup unsweetened apple sauce instead of oil)
14 oz can pure pumpkin (or 1/2 of a big 28 oz can)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
how to:
Preheat oven to 350F. Mix all dry ingredients together in a large bowl.
Mix water, eggs and oil together and then add to dry ingredients. Stir in pumpkin. Stir in walnuts (if using).
Pour into 2 lightly greased loaf pans.
Bake about 1 hr until toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean.
Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire rack to cool completely.
Happy baking!
