September is almost over and I’ve been seeing pumpkin spice in the stores for almost a month now. Fall is this week and so it is time for a pumpkin recipe – Easy Pumpkin Bread!

Ingredients You Will Need

• Flour
• Sugar
• Baking Soda
• Cinnamon
• Nutmeg
• Baking Powder
• Salt
• Cloves
• Eggs
• Canned Pumpkin
• Oil

Equipment You May Need

• Mixing Bowls
• Measuring Cups and Spoons
• Loaf Pans
• Whisk
• Wooden Spoon
• Cooling Rack

Helpful Tips

• Crack your eggs into a separate bowl and then pour the eggs into the recipe. This helps avoid eggshells as it’s easier to see them and remove them from a separate bowl.
• Be sure to get canned pumpkin and not canned pumpkin pie filling.
• This recipe can sometimes take a bit longer to bake. Be sure to make sure it is done by inserting a wooden pick. If it comes out clean, it is done. If not, put the bread back in for about 2 minutes at a time and keep checking.

Variations

• Add 1/2 cup chopped pecans to the batter. Stir in just before transferring to loaf pans.
• Add 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips to the batter. Stir in just before transferring to loaf pans.
• Add 1/2 cup raisins to the batter. Stir in just before transferring to loaf pans.
