This is my grandmother’s recipe for pumpkin bread. I’ve always loved it, and a few years back I finally asked my aunt for the recipe. A Facebook friend recently posted that she was looking for a pumpkin muffin recipe, so I decided to share this. In my opinion, this one works great. Make it as a loaf, cupcakes (just top with icing), or muffins (no icing).
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Libby’s Pumpkin
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup water
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1 cups light brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tblsp baking powder
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp ground cloves
- 3 cups flour
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Mix pumpkin, eggs, oil, and water in an electric mixer.
- Add the remaining ingredients and mix well.
- Pour into loaf (or muffin) pan and bake at 350 for 1 ¼ hours, then test with a toothpick to see if it’s done. For cupcakes/muffins start testing after about 20 minutes.
