Pumpkin Bread

      

    Once the weather started to cool off my mom would always whip out the cans of Libby's pumpkin puree. The smell of this pumpkin bread baking always marked the beginning of Fall and the holiday season (to include Halloween) in our house. I look forward to making it every year and love giving mini loaves to friends and family. I am happy that I get to share this recipe with you all this year! Did I mention this recipe is stupid easy and uses 1 bowl? 

Ingredients:

(Makes 8 mini loaves or 2 large loaves)

• 1 big can of pumpkin puree (29 oz)
• 1 cup vegetable oil 
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 4 eggs 
• 1 1/2 tsp salt 
• 1 Tbsp cinnamon 
• 1 Tbsp nutmeg
• 2 tsp baking soda 
• 3 cups sugar 
• 3 1/2 cups flour 
• 1/4-1/2 cup water (as needed)
• 1 bag semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

Directions 

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Put all of your wet ingredients (except water) into a large mixing bowl. Stir until well combined. I like to use a whisk to mix. 

    Add your dry ingredients to your wet ingredients and mix. Add water slowly as needed to combine mixture. Try not to over mix. Then mix in your chocolate chips! 

Spray pan with a nonstick spray ( bakers friend is my favorite) and fill your pan 2/3 of the way full. 

Bake mini loaves for 45 minutes - 1 hour. Bake large loaves for 1 hour and 15-30 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean. Bake time really varies since this is a very wet mixture.

Let cool completely and enjoy!
