I simply love this pumpkin spice bread recipe! It has the perfect blend of spices and is so moist. I’m a huge fan of a good banana nut bread but I’d say this pumpkin walnut bread knocks that out of first place.
The original recipe doesn’t call for nuts but I decided to add a small amount of walnuts to half of the recipe. The recipe makes two loaves so I made one with walnuts and one without. After tasting both loaves, I think I prefer it with the nuts. But if you don’t care for nuts in breads, you can omit it from the recipe.
Pumpkin Walnut Spice Bread
Ingredients:
- 3 cups sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 4 eggs, lightly beaten
- 15 oz can pumpkin
- 3 & 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon allspice
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- In a large bowl; combine the flour, soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, cloves and allspice. Set aside.
- In your electric mixer; blend together the sugar, veggie oil and eggs just until combined. Add pumpkin and blend well.
- Alternating between the water and flour mix; gradually blend in both a little at a time. Lightly blend until all is combined. Stir in nuts.
- Evenly pour batter into two loaf pans sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Bake for 60 - 65 minutes or until toothpick in center comes out clean.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans. Cool completely before serving.
