What do you do with two punkins on a Friday morning?
Make pumpkin bread, of course!
What’s the best part of baking?
Snitching, of course!
I won’t leave you in suspense. Here is our pumpkin bread recipe, which we make for every new arrival in the neighborhood, and pretty often for ourselves, too…
Spiced Pumpkin Bread
3 c. sugar
1 c. vegetable oil
3 large eggs
1 16-ounce can solid pack pumpkin (NOT pie filling!)
3 c. flour
1 tsp. ground cloves
1 tsp. ground nutmg
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. allspice
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder
Oven 350.
Butter & flour two bread loaf pans. Beat sugar & oil in a large bowl. Mix in eggs and pumpkin.
Sift flour, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, salt & baking powder into another large bowl. Stir into pumpkin mixture in two additions (I use the kitchen aid).
Divide batter equally between prepared pans. Bake until a tester comes out clean, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Transfer to racks & cool 10 minutes. Using knife, cut around the edge of loaves. Turn loaves out onto racks to cool completely.
Enjoy!

Yummy! I’m so ready for pumpkin season.
Sounds yummy! You have nutmeg in there twice–do you use 2 tsp, or is that a typo?
Kate,
Saw a mom with two preschoolers, one with down’s syndrome, at the grocery store yesterday. The kids were in one of those sit side by side carts and they were sharing a giant chocolate chip cookie. Very precious…very messy
Couldn’t help thinking of you and all the challenges and blessings you face day in and day out.
Bless you–enjoy your punkins and pumpkin bread
Becca–should have been cinnamon. I corrected it. Thank you!
