Homemade Pumpkin Bread:

Ingredients:

3 cups flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 Tablespoon baking powder
2 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
2/3 cup water
2 cups (or one can) of pumpkin
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Homemade Pumpkin Bread

Directions:

1.) Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2.) In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, baking soda, and baking powder.

3.) In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, oil, and eggs using a mixer. Stir in water and pumpkin on low speed. Add nuts at low speed until combined.

4.) Add half of dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in the mixing bowl and mix until mostly combined. Add the rest of the dry ingredients into the mixing bowl, and mix on medium speed for 20-30 seconds. Scrape sides of mixing bowl as needed.

5.) Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes, however, check on bread at 30 minutes to make sure it is not browning to quickly. If it is, tent loosely with tinfoil for the remainder of the baking time.

6.) Bread is finished cooking when it is set in the middle and slightly pulls away from the edges. Let it cool in the pans for 12-15 minutes, and then turn out onto a flat surface to finish cooling.

7.) This stores well in the refrigerator for 4-6 days; it freezes well for up to 2 months if wrapped well.

Makes 2 loaves or about 18 muffins.
