Make this pumpkin bread and freeze the rest for later, or make it for the bake sale.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 1 hour, 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 (16-ounce) can pumpkin pureé
  • 3 1/2 cups self-rising flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans or walnuts

Preparation:

Combine sugar, eggs, and oil in a large bowl; beat at medium speed of an electric mixer until well blended. Stir in pumpkin pureé. Combine flour and spices; gradually add to pumpkin mixture, beating until blended; stir in pecans. Spoon mixture into 3 greased and floured 1-pound coffee cans or 8 x 4 x 3-inch loaf pans, or 2 9 x 5 x3-inch loaf pans. Bake at 300° for 1 hour and 10 to 20 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in cans or loaf pans for 10 minutes on wire racks. Remove from pans and let cool completely on wire racks.
Makes 2 to 3 loaves of pumpkin pecan bread.

"I made this for a board meeting held at my house last night and it got rave reviews. It made 2 nice loaves, maybe could have reduced the baking time by 5 minutes or so (I left it in for 1 hr 20 min). Great flavor, not too sweet. Nice crunch with the pecans. Definately a keeper!"
