If you aren’t exactly crazy for dessert, why don’t you try making nice, spicy pumpkin bread? It’s sweet, but totally savory. The best part is, it’s so easy, even a novice baker can make this.
 
Now, I cannot take all the credit for this recipe. I got it from my dear friend Bethy. This recipe was given to her mom while her family was stationed in Norway…in the 1980’s. I am so glad that this recipe made its way into my hands! 
 
Part of me gave into making this because I down right HEART pumpkin bread. And really, what am I waiting for? It’s Thanksgiving…would I really consider making anything but this? I didn’t think so.
 
A bread like this kneads NO introduction…(no kidding…there is NO kneeding…just stir and pour.) See…I told you it was easy!
 
Pumpkin Spice Bread
Recipe from Elizabeth M.
 
1 ½ Cup White Sugar
½ Cup Vegetable Oil
2 Eggs
1 ¾ Cup Flour
¼ t. Baking Powder
1 t. Baking Soda
1 t. Salt
½ t. Cloves
½ t. Allspice
½ t. Cinnamon
1/3 Cup Water
1 Cup Pumpkin
 
 
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
 
Add sugar, oil, then eggs, pumpkin, and spices. 
 
In a separate bowl mix flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder together. 
 
Add flour gradually to pumpkin mixture. Then add water. DO NOT OVER MIX!
 
Bake 1 hour. Let cool for 1 hour. Wrap in foil to keep fresh. 
 
**Bread will be hard when you first pull out of oven, but softens over night. **
