PUMPKIN BREAD - THE BEST I'VE EVER TASTED!
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!

Steps:
- 1. Blend pumpkin, butter, water, and eggs until mixed.
- 2. Add flour, sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, and baking soda. Mix well and add walnuts.
- 3. Pour into 2 greased and floured loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees for one hour or until top is golden brown.
Tips:
- Use fresh pumpkin puree: Fresh pumpkin puree gives the bread a more intense pumpkin flavor. To make your own puree, simply roast a pumpkin in the oven until soft, then scoop out the flesh and blend it until smooth.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a loaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches: A smaller loaf pan will make the bread too thick, which will prevent it from cooking evenly.
- Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 50-60 minutes. If the toothpick comes out with crumbs attached, bake the bread for a few more minutes.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help the bread to hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.
Conclusion:
Pumpkin bread is a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dessert. It's also a great way to use up leftover pumpkin puree. With so many different recipes to choose from, there's sure to be a pumpkin bread recipe that everyone will enjoy.
