After Halloween is over, you may have a need for this recipe for Pumpkin bread -


Ingredients and Equipment

  • 2 cups of fresh cooked pumpkin
    OR one 16 ounce can of canned pumpkin
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (not self-rising flour)
  • 2 tsp. baking soda
  • 3 cups sugar or 3 cups of Splenda OR a 50:50 mix of the two.
  • 4 eggs, beaten
    (Note for vegans: each egg can be replaced 1 tablespoon of flax meal mixed with 3 Tbs. water (mixed until it develops uniformly sticky consistency). That's 4 tablespoons of flax meal in total. The bread takes about 15 minutes longer to bake and is a little more dense but very good after a day of refrigeration.)
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 and 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 2 tsp. nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon allspice
  • 1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
  • 1/2 cup raisins (also optional)
  • Water:
    1/2 cup water if you are using fresh cooked pumpkin
    OR
    2/3 cup water if you are using commercial canned pumpkin
  • Makes 2 loaves.

Happy Halloween
