Spicy Pumpkin Bread Recipe
Ingredients:3 cups Sugar
4 eggs
2 cups pumpkin
1 cup oil
3 1/3 cup flour
2 tsp Baking Soda
2 tsp Baking Powder
1 1/2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 tsp Nutmeg
1/8 tsp mace
1/8 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp ginger
1 cup nuts, choppped (optional)
1/4 cup jalapeño, chopped (optional)
1/3 cup water
Directions:
- Combine sugar, eggs, pumpkin, and oil, and mix well.
Combine in a separate bowl the other dry ingredients,
mix together, then add slowly to the first group. Be
sure everything is mixed well (I have found my mixer
doesn't do a very good job, and I usually wind up
mixing it a little by hand). Add chopped nuts if you
like (I don't care for them myself), or choppped jalapeño.
I wouldn't try both in the same loaf.
- Grease and Flour 2 loaf pans (do this well or the
loaves will stick to the pans). Bake at 350º
for 1 to 1 1/4 hours.
- Slice to desired thickness after completely cool.
This pumpkin recipe makes two small bread loaves. So, I suggest that
you make one with jalapeño and one without. Either way, you will love this pumpkin bread recipe.
