The Ultimate Fresh Pumpkin Bread Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups fresh, shredded pumpkin
Steps
1.) Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.
2.) Sift the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together.
3.) In a separate bowl mix the sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla.
4.) Cut up your pumpkin and shred three cups.
Let’s be honest. I used to do this part prior to meeting my husband. However, now that I have him… I make him do it. Those small baking pumpkins can be tough! I’m not even ashamed to admit that!
NOTE: My absolute hands down, all-time favorite bowl is this Glass 8 Cup Pampered Chef Bowl Mike and I got as a wedding gift. Love it!!
5.) Then, combine both mixtures and fold in the pumpkin.
6.) Once it has all been mixed up pour it into a non-stick 9×5, 3″ loaf pan.
Note: If you don’t have a non-stick pan just coat it with butter and flour.
7.) Bake for one hour and 15 minutes. However, always insert a knife and check just to make sure!
8.) Let it cool for 15 mins and then turn it over onto a cooling rack (or plate if you don’t have one).
