Pumpkin Nut Bread
This is a classic pumpkin nut bread made into mini-loaves. This quick bread is easy to make. In our test kitchen, this was a favorite.
Ingredients
3 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon cloves
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs
3 cups sugar
1 small can pumpkin (16 oz)
2/3 cup walnut pieces
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix the flour, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, together in a medium bowl. In another bowl, stir the oil, eggs, pumpkin, and sugar together.
- Make a well in the flour mixture and add the liquid mixture. Stir just until blended. Stir in the nuts.
- Turn the batter into well greased and floured mini-loaf pans. Bake 25 to 35 minutes or until done. (Baking times will vary on the size of the pans. Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center of the loaves. If it comes out clean, it should be done.) Let cool for ten minutes and then remove them to a wire rack to cool completely.
