Time 1h20m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 cups white sugar
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
4 eggs, beaten
⅔ cup water
½ cup applesauce
½ cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
1 cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour 2 large bread pans.
  • Beat sugar, pumpkin, eggs, water, applesauce, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract together in a large mixing bowl.
  • Whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, cloves, and ginger together in a separate bowl; stir into the pumpkin mixture until just combined. Fold walnuts into the resulting batter; pour into prepared bread pans.

I wasn't sure how I would feel about pumpkin bread made with whole wheat flour, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was really delicious and I didn't miss the white flour at all.
