Pumpkin Bread

By dmscott52

Nothing beats a toasted warm slice of this Pumpkin Bread with a little butter... ok, maybe a lot of butter to accompany your cup of coffee in the morning. That's how I like to start my day!

First tried 11/12/2016, excellent.

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Combine first eight ingredients. Whisk together eggs, pumpkin, oil and water; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in walnuts and, if desired raisins.

Pour into greased 9x5 inch loaf pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 65-70 minutes. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack.
