After having an abundance of cooked pumpkin after over purchasing on a couple of organic pie pumpkins I decided to make some pumpkin bread, here is the recipe I have always had great results with.

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked pumpkin plus 1 cup or water or 16 oz can of canned pumpkin plus 1.25 cups water
• 3.5 cups all purpose flour
• 2 tsp. baking soda
• 3 cups sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 1.5 tsp. kosher salt
• 2 tsp. cinnamon
• 2 tsp. nutmeg

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
2. Combine flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar into a large mixing bowl.
3. In a separate bowl whisk eggs, water, oil and pumpkin.
4. Slowly at wet ingredients to dry ingredients and blend until well combined.
5. Pour into two lightly greased and floured bread loaf pans.
6. Bake for 1 hour and test if done by inserting a knife into the middle of the loaf and when it comes out clean it is done.
7. Let cool for 30 minutes, top with aluminum foil and place into your refrigerator and let cool overnight.
