Spiced Pumpkin Bread

submitted by Emily Andersen




INGREDIENTS

1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
4 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
2/3 cup water
3 cups white sugar
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Grease and flour three 7x3 inch loaf pans.In a large bowl, mix together pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, water and sugar until well blended. In a separate bowl, whisk 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 about 50 minutes in the preheated oven. Loaves are done when toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

** If you want to make this a bit healthier you could use some brown sugar instead of the white, and use 1/2 c. oil and 1/2 c. applesauce. Add nuts, raisins or chocolate chips if you'd like.
I found this recipe on allrecipes.com this week and we really liked it. Enjoy!
