Yummy! This is a simple, old-fashioned, no-frills pumpkin bread. The smell of this pumpkin bread filled the Test Kitchen with the comforting smells of fall. This was moist, delicious and we loved the flavor the ground pecans gave this bread without giving it too much crunch. A delicious sugary crust forms on top.

Ingredients

MIX BELOW INGREDIENTS TOGETHER WELL:
1 can(s) 100% pure pumpkin, 15 oz can (use whole can)
3 c sugar
3 eggs
1 c vegetable oil
MIX BELOW INGREDIENTS TOGETHER WELL:
3 c all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground clove
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp baking soda
1 c ground pecans add pecans in last after batter is mixed

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using a mixer, combine all wet ingredients and sugar, mixing only until they are well incorporated.
2. Now combine the remaining dry ingredients (except pecans) in a separate bowl.
3. Then using a measuring cup or large spoon, slowly add in scoops of dry ingredients mixing well between each addition, do not over mix batter.
4. Once dry ingredients are mixed in well, add in pecans being sure to mix them in evenly.
5. Grease and flour 2 bread pans.
6. Fill pans halfway with batter.
7. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 - 60 minutes.
8. **Note: This recipe originally calls for it to be baked in 3 (1 lb) coffee cans. But since they no longer make the metal coffee cans you can use the bread pans. If you do happen to find the coffee cans, then by all means use them. It gives the bread a really nice design.**

Tips:

Use fresh pumpkin puree. This will give your bread the best flavor. If you don't have fresh pumpkin puree, you can use canned pumpkin puree, but make sure to drain it well before using.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Grease and flour the loaf pan. This will help the bread to come out of the pan easily.
Bake the bread at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 60-70 minutes. Check the bread with a toothpick after 60 minutes. If the toothpick comes out clean, the bread is done.
Let the bread cool before slicing and serving. This will help the bread to hold its shape.

Conclusion:

Old-fashioned pumpkin bread is a delicious and easy-to-make fall treat. With its moist texture, sweet flavor, and warm spices, this bread is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a tasty and festive treat, give this old-fashioned pumpkin bread recipe a try.
