Easy Pumpkin Bread Recipe

This yummy Easy Pumpkin Bread recipe is delicious and cheap to make, uses fresh pumpkin, and makes a perfect treat for breakfast, dessert, or a snack anytime of the day.

• 3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
• 3 cups white sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 ½ teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 cups mashed fresh pumpkin (from boiled or roasted pumpkin)
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• ⅔ cup water
• 4 large eggs
• ½ cup chopped walnuts (Optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour three 7x3-inch loaf pans.

Stir flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon together in a large mixing bowl until well blended. Add mashed pumpkin, oil, water, and eggs; beat with an electric mixer until well combined. Fold in walnuts. Divide batter evenly among the prepared pans.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of each loaf comes out clean, about 1 hour.

Remove from the oven and set pans on a wire rack. Let cool completely before slicing.

Makes three 7x3" loaves.

You can use pumpkin puree instead of cooked fresh pumpkin, and raisins instead of walnuts if desired.
