On Sunday morning, I made some pumpkin bread from scratch and it was delicious, so I figured I'd share my recipe (again--with some modifications) with you all.  The recipe makes 2 loaves of bread, but be sure to lick the bowl too.

 

1 15-oz can of canned pumpkin

1 1/2 cups sugar

1 cup water

1 cup vegetable oil

4 large eggs

3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon nutmeg

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground cloves

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup chocolate chips (optional)

 

In a large bowl, combine pumpkin, sugar, water, oil, and eggs.  Beat until well-mixed.  In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and cloves.  Stir until combined.  Slowly add dry ingredients to pumpkin mixture, beating until smooth.  Spray 2 9x5 loaf pans with Pam and lightly flour.  Evenly divide batter into 2 pans.  Bake at 350 degrees for 60-65 minutes.  Cool for 10-15 minutes.  I added a cup of chocolate chips to one loaf and kept one without.
