Spicy, sweet pumpkin bread – A moist, sweet bread, or a tasty loaf cake? It is both!
Pumpkin spices, raisins, and walnuts galore! A family favorite year after year!
Any way you slice it, it is always so moist and delicious. Good to the last few, tasty crumbs.
- Try a slice warmed as a bread, with butter at meals or,
- Chilled with cream cheese for a snack or,
- Have a warm slice for breakfast, with your morning cup of coffee, tea, or milk or,
- Best of all, warm, with a dollop of whipped cream and lightly sprinkled with cinnamon, for tonight’s dessert. Yes. Please!
Ingredients:
Sift together in a large bowl:
1 1/2 cups of flour
1/2 teaspoon powdered cloves
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
Mix together separately in a medium bowl:
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup water
1 cup canned Libby’s seasoned, Pumpkin Pie, Mix
Add to the medium bowl:
11/2 cups sugar
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup raisins
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees:
Combine all ingredients in the large bowl. Mix thoroughly, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl. Spoon into a large buttered and floured loaf pan.
Bake on the center oven rack for 1 hour.
Check that bread center has risen and a test toothpick comes out clean.
Cool. Insert knife to free edges of bread from sides of pan if needed. Invert onto a plate.
Tip:
Sprinkle with powdered sugar for a nice finishing touch.
Tip:
Raisins and nuts are optional.
Tip:
Unseasoned pumpkin can be used if you prefer fewer spices. I prefer Libby’s Pumpkin Pie Mix because we like the extra spices.
Tip:
I buy the large can of Libby’s Pumpkin Pie Mix and triple the recipe. You won’t regret it. It’s that tasty!
