I received this recipe from a friend, Shirley M. in 1981. It has become a favorite of mine to bake at Thanksgiving and through the Fall season. The house smells wonderful, and the bread tastes even better!

How To Make pumpkin bread

  • Step 1
    in a large mixer with paddle attachment put the sugar, pumpkin, oil, and vanilla, mix well.
  • Step 2
    In another bowl put the flour, cloves, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt mix together thoroughly (I use a whisk to distribute all together nicely.)
  • Step 3
    Then add the flour mixture to the mixer and mix all together until well blended, then add the nuts, mix again to combine. Pour into the 8 mini loaves and place into the oven.
  • Step 4
    Bake at 325 degrees for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. (check with toothpick) "HINT" Add a pan with a cup or two of water into the oven while breads are baking, it keeps the bread nice and moist.
