Homemade Pumpkin Bread

Needed some more quick bread for breakfast so I cranked out some Pumpkin bread. The house smells like Thanksgiving right now with the cinnamon & nutmeg aroma everywhere. So if you like quick breads this is relatively easy to make.

For 2 loaves, my pans are 1 whole loaf and 2 mini loaves, this makes two loaves total.
Bake at 350 degrees

3-1/3 cups AP Flour
3 cups sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1-1/2 tsp baking soda
1-1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1-1/2 tsp salt

Combine all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl

Add wet ingredients with dry a bit at a time till batter is moist but not too wet. I have some of the wet mixture left over. Fold in Nuts & Fruit. I ladle the batter into the coated pans so equal amounts are in each pan. My pans are sprayed with a baking spray that has flour mixed into the coating.

I'm making this while drinking the over run wine from the batch of Blueberry/Plum/Lemon wine. It's ultra smooth. Smooth like a $50 bottle of Pinot Noir. This wine is 18.91 ABV so I don't drink as much as I want to.

My favorite baked bread! Thanks for sharing

Looks good and I can almost smell it!

Home run on both accounts. The wine certainly does sound very interesting

Awesome post. Gotta try the recipe. Thank you so much for posting. I will add it to our recipe page for sure: https://www.crappie.com/crappie/list...ory/46-Recipes

love me some pumpkin bread , very nice .......

I don't want to offend anybody but am happy to post the Blueberry wine process. Made with 71B yeast it finished around 13% ABV much lower than the blended batch. Blueberry is super easy to make too. Works out to $1 a 750ml bottle if you have blueberry bushes. Jack please let me know if appropriate.

Slab, I flattered you like my post. It is a pleasure to share with and enjoy the crew of cooks you have here. Awesome guys for sure.

Going to try in morning!!!!!!!!! Question, 350 degrees.... How long to bake?

I set the timer at 50 minutes but the small loaves are usually done at 40-45 minutes. I do the insert the toothpick thing but I warn, they go from un-done, to done, to burning on the tops in less than 10 minutes. Ovens do vary but my full size loaves go the full 50 minutes most of the time. When I first started making quick breaks I didn't watch, well my wife saved me the first time calling me to check the bread. Now I realize a little wetter or drier batter adds or shaves time. At 30-40 minute mark on the first loaves I would check them in your oven. You will be sure to get the exact time in your oven for future loaves. I'm so glad to hear you are trying it.

Love pumpkin bread! This recipe looks amazing. Might be on the thanksgiving menu in my house. Thanks for sharing!
