Pumpkin Bread - the Best I've Ever Tasted! image

When my son was in "Delightful Day" pre-school (he's 14 now) they had a Thanksgiving Day Feast. They served this recipe. However, instead of baking it into loaves they made mini muffins.To date, this is by far the best pumpkin bread/muffin I have ever had. Very easy to make and soooo moist! Such a pleasure to pass this along to everyone at this wonderful site! Enjoy! PS - This freezes great! Get a jump on holiday cooking!

Yield 3 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 1/2 cups flour
3 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons allspice (optional)
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 cup water
1 cup oil
2 cups pumpkin
4 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup raisins
1 cup chopped nuts

Steps:

  • Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Mix wet ingredients in another large bowl at low speed by mixer or by hand.
  • Make well in dry ingredients (a large indentation in center).
  • Add wet ingredients to well and fold in until thoroughly moistened.
  • Add nuts and raisins, folding to distribute evenly.
  • Do not overmix.
  • Bake in 3 greased and floured loaf pans.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minute.
  • Freezes great!
  • Can also be made into muffins.
  • Adjust cooking time as necessary.
  • Tip: I've found that baking in"dark" aluminum pans tends to burn easily on outside.
  • I use light colored aluminum pans.
  • They reflect the heat better.
