Pumpkin Pie Bread


If the title doesn't make you drool, check your pulse!  I found it on Pinterest, which led me to its source: a cute blog called be different act normal.  I made this recipe over the weekend with a few modifications.  Here's what you'll need:

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups white sugar (told you it had some calories!)
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup water
  • chocolate chips 
(I added the chocolate chips because everything is better with chocolate, right?)

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees (I might advise baking at a slightly lower temperature- our bread got a little well done on the edges but the insides were a little gooey) and grease two baking pans.  I didn't have two loaf pans the same size, so I did one 9x5 loaf pan and one 9x9.

Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
 

In a separate, large bowl, beat together the sugar, oil, eggs, and canned pumpkin.Alternate adding the water and dry ingredients to the mixture and beat until blended.
It should look like this when you're done stirring

Split the mix between your two pans.  I then added in some chocolate chips to the 9x9 pan.  If you wanted, you could add in chocolate chips to the whole mix.

Then, bake your loaves for 45 minutes (9x9) and 60 minutes (9x5) or thereabouts.  I use a piece of spaghetti to see if the bread is done- it should come out clean.

Yum!
