Pumpkin walnut bread cooked in a Crock-Pot
This delicious moist and flavorful bread will fill your house with the sweet aroma of pumpkin, cinnamon and ginger. I cooked it directly in my (well-greased) Crock-Pot and it came out easily, although the original recipe, from Southern Foods, calls for cooking it in a separate pan fitted inside the slow-cooker. Too complicated; I figured I'd take my chances after my successes with other cakes in a Crock-Pot.
But, unlike the Triple Chocolate Mess and Coconut Crock-Pot Cakes, the bottom of the pumpkin bread was more moist than the top, and the separation from the bottom of the pan was not perfectly smooth (but still pretty smooth). The top was perfect, so that end went up. One thing I did differently was to place 4 paper towels on top of the pot, beneath the glass top. This trapped and held much of the moisture that usually collects on top like a rain cloud; I recommend this for cakes and breads cooked in the Crock-Pot, and will try it next time I make a cake.
