Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon cardamom
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon clove
  • ** if you are going to use pumpkin pie spice, use a scant 2 teaspoons of spice in place of the spices mentioned here
  • 2 eggs (beaten)
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil ((do not use olive or peanut oil))
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/3 cup roasted and salted pumpkin seeds

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large bowl add all of the dry ingredients; flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, salt, and spices. Sift the dry ingredients together. In a smaller bowl mix together the 2 beaten eggs, the oil, pumpkin puree, and the vanilla. 
  • Once the liquid ingredients are mixed well pour over the dry ingredients. Stir until the lumps are out. Do not over-stir the mixture. Pour into a 9x5x3 inch loaf pan that has been sprayed with non-stick spray. Sprinkle pumpkin seeds on top of the bread. Bake for 50 - 60 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean when poked in the center of the loaf. 
  • Cool for approximately 5 minutes in the pan, and then turn the pumpkin bread onto a cooling rack. The bread cuts best when allowed to cool completely.
