Number Of Ingredients 14

½ cup raisins
1 cup whole wheat flour
⅔ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Combine pumpkin puree, sugar, eggs, reserved soaking water, and oil in another bowl; mix with a spoon or whisk until well combined. Stir pumpkin mixture into flour mixture until just moistened. Fold in walnuts and raisins. Pour batter into a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes. Allow to cool in the pan for 15 minutes then transfer to a wire rack.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree: Making your own pumpkin puree is easy and ensures that you're using the freshest, most flavorful pumpkin possible. Plus, it's much cheaper than buying canned pumpkin puree.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a loaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches: This will ensure that the bread has enough room to rise and won't overflow the pan.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the bread is cooked through.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing it: This will help the bread to hold its shape and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Samhain pumpkin bread is a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for Halloween or Thanksgiving. It's easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its moist texture, sweet pumpkin flavor, and warm spices, this bread is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
