Aunt Elys Pumpkin Bread Recipes

EASY ONE-BOWL PUMPKIN BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour an 8 x 4-inch loaf pan. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, oil, and eggs. Add pumpkin and vanilla; whisk to combine. Sprinkle baking soda and salt over top; stir until well blended.
• Stir in flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, and ginger; be careful not to over-mix.
• Transfer batter to the prepared pan. Bake for 45-55 minutes for dark or nonstick pans or up to 60-70 minutes for glass, ceramic, or light pans. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Tent the loaf with foil during the final 15-20 minutes of baking if the top starts to get too dark.
• Remove the bread from the pan and cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
