How To Make pumpkin loaf

  • 1
    Sift dry ingredients together In stand mixer, add eggs, one at a time, half the pumpkin puree, water. Mix batter on medium speed for about 2 minutes, then on high speed for another two minutes. I used 6-8 mini loaf pans @ 375 for 25-30 minutes as ovens vary. Cool loafs on rack. Dust with powdered sugar, whip cream or frost with a maple frosting, if desired.

    NOTE: I wrapped them in plastic wrap and stored them in the freezer until needed. Friends and family say it was the moistest pumpkin bread they've tasted.

    Note on PUMPKIN: I saved the other half to make a pumpkin frosting, using 8 oz cream cheese, approximately 2 cups of confectioners sugar (sifted), 2 tsp vanilla, 1 tsp pumpkin spice. But I wasn't happy with the taste so didn't use it.
