Pumpkin Spice Bread

Pumpkin Spice Bread

A moist, sweet pumpkin quick bread with cinnamon and nutmeg

2 loaves

3 cups sugar
1 cup oil
3 eggs
2/3 cup water
2 cups pumpkin (or one, 15-ounce can)
1 cup chopped nuts, optional
3 cups flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon nutmeg
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 tablespoon baking powder

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, oil, and eggs. Stir in water and pumpkin (and nuts if using).

2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine remaining ingredients, whisking to mix well. Add to creamed mixture and beat until smooth.

3. Pour into two greased and floured 8x4-inch loaf pans. (You may use a different size pan, such as 9x5-inch, but loaves won't be as tall.)

4. Bake at 350 degrees for 90 minutes or until bread tests done. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then remove to wire racks and cover with a cloth until cool.

This pumpkin bread is delicious! Many people, upon tasting this bread, tell me that it's the best pumpkin bread they've ever had. And no wonder -- it's moist, sweet, and spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg! It's as much a cake as a bread, but quick to mix and makes a great snack or breakfast bread. My rating: 10/10.

Sooo Delicious!
This is the first Pumpkin Bread that I've ever baked or tasted. It is extremely moist and very tasty! I added chocolate chips to the recipe to get my two small daughters to taste it...they loved it too! Even my husband, who isn't a fan of anything "pumpkin", loved it. This bread makes a lovely change from my usual Banana Bread that I always make!!!

Fantastic!
I just made this bread and had to sample it warm. It is so delicious. I did substitute 1/2 cup of applesauce for half of the oil and it only took 60 minutes to bake. This is a keeper recipe for sure! Thanks, Tammy!

Made this into Muffins
I made this into muffins for breakfast after Easter Sunrise Service. They were delicious! I used muffin cups and baked them for 20-25 minutes. They came out perfect. Thanks!

This is the recipe that made me go ahead and join
This is the recipe that made me go ahead and join Tammy's. I have been lurking around reading recipes and tried this one. I made it into muffins. They were so yummy and moist. I only had a half the amount of nutmeg so I added the rest in pumpkin pie spice. They freeze well too. Thanks Tammy!

Very Moist
My children love this bread! I have some leftover baby food, so I've also been adding two jars of garden vegetable to the recipe. You can't taste it at all, and the extra veggies are good for them. This bread freezes very well.
