How To Make pumpkin bread

  • 1
    Pre-heat oven to 350

    Grease bottom of large loaf pan (I also flour it)

    Mix all ingredient, except for raisins, in a large bowl with a fork. The recipe says NOT to sift biscuit mix but I don't like coming across small bits that didn't incorporate so I sift)
  • 4
    Beat vigorously for 1 minute

    Stir in raisins if desired. (I have tried it both ways and prefer my bread raisin-free)

    Cool 5-10 minutes and then run knife around to edges.
