I love bread, and sometimes I make several different kinds of bread in one day! This past week I made this pumpkin bread because Spencer needed 2 empty cans for school--they had to be bigger cans and all I had in that size was pumpkin. This is my sister's recipe. I should admit that I have never eaten pumpkin bread before because I hate pumpkin and spices, but after cooking 12 loaves of bread, I decided to give it a try. It was delicious (but very fattening).
3 c sugar
15 oz pumpkin puree
1 c oil
2/3 c water
4 eggs
3-1/2 c flour
1 T cinnamon
1 T nutmeg
2 t baking soda
1-1/2 t salt
1 c semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 c chopped walnuts, optional
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour three 9x5" loaf pans.
In a large bowl combine sugar, pumpkin, oil, water, and eggs. Beat until smooth. Blend in flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt. Fold in chocolate chips and nuts.
Fill pans 1/2 pan to 3/4 full.
Bake for 1 hour or until an inserted knife comes out clean. Cool on wire racks before removing from pan.
