Old fashioned in every way (except the healthier olive oil choice), you won’t be disappointed with this yummy no-fail recipe for the best pumpkin bread you’ve ever eaten. Tip: If you use fresh nutmeg, cut the recommended amount in half.
Grandma’s Pumpkin Bread
1 cup virgin olive oil
1 large can pumpkin
Stir the above three ingredients together
Sift together and add:
5 cups flour
4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp nutmeg
½ tsp ginger
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
Chopped nuts, if desired
Mix well. Pour into greased bread pans.
3 large loaf pans: Bake at 350? for 1 hour 15 min
5 small loaf pans: Bake at 350? for approximately 1 hour
Serve warm and top with whipped cream.
Loaves will keep well if placed in plastic bags and stored in the refrigerator.
This sounds wonderful…. especially the part about the whipped cream. I can almost smell it!
I haven’t been able to comment on everyone’s recipes but this is a truly yummy idea you all have come up with.
Cheryl, thanks for using olive oil! Will give it a shot using rice flour as well.
Peace, Julie
Cheryl, my mouth is watering.
I promise you won’t be disappointed!
What a delicious bunch of recipes! I’ll definitely be trying some of these. Gotta love this time of year.
Cher, I can smell that pumpkin bread baking now. It can sure tantalize the taste buds. I like to make pumpkin bread to give away to my neighbors at Christmas. It makes excellent gifts and much better than bought. Your recipe looks easier than the one I have. I’ll have to try yours this year.
Yum. I always like to make a little something for the neighbors on my cul-de-sac. Last year was my Aunt Gracey’s killer banana bread…looks like I’ve got a plan for this year’s gift, as well as Linda. Thanks, Cher.
Yummy, pumpkin bread is absolutely my favorite!
mmmm
