Classic Pumpkin Bread

Good morning! Did you have a nice weekend? Mine was great, we went out with friends in Saturday for dinner and a play and Sunday we relaxed, read and caught up on things around the house. It has been raining here for what seems like weeks, although I think it has only been 5 days, but the sun finally came out on Sunday so it was the perfect end to the weekend. 

In the last few weeks I have made 2 kinds of pumpkin yeast rolls, 2 kinds of pumpkin bread, a pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin brownies and pumpkin pasta with browned butter and crispy sage. Just in case you hadn’t realized Fall is my favorite time to bake(and eat) because I love all of the spices and flavors. 

Pumpkin bread is one of my favorite things to make not only because I love its sweet, and spicy taste but also because it is a great treat to give away or mail to your favorite people.

This bread is a classic and although I have my own favorite recipe I am always open to trying new ones. I found this recipe from Baked by An Introvert on Pinterest.

Ingredients

1 15 oz. can of pumpkin puree

1/4 cup of vegetable oil

1/4 cup butter, melted and cooled

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar packed

2 large eggs

1/3 cup buttermilk

2 cups all-purpose flour

11/2 teaspoon  Ground Cinnamon

1 teaspoon salt

3/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon ground Nutmeg

1/8 teaspoon ground  Cloves 

Directions

On a baking sheet, take 4 connected sheets of paper towels and fold in half. Spread the pumpkin across the folded sheets and set aside for 10 minutes. 

Preheat the oven to 350, adjust the oven rack to the lower third rung. Prepare a 9×5″ loaf pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl combine the oil, cooled butter, granulated sugar and the brown sugar, mix with a whisk until combined well. Then add the eggs one at a time mixing well after each one. 

Transfer the drained pumpkin into the bowl with the wet ingredients, add the buttermilk and mix well. 

In a separate bowl combine the flour, salt, baking soda and the spices and mix with a whisk. Then combine with the wet ingredients. Mix the dry ingredients until just incorporated with the wet ingredients. You do not want to over mix. 

Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 45-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. 

Remove from oven, cool on a air rack for 30 minutes then remove from pan and let cool completely on a wire rack.

Or eat warm, it is delicious plain but it is also very good with butter!

Have a great day!
