Pumpkin Spice Bread

By Hklbrries

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 cup cooked mashed pumpkin
• 1/2 cup apple or orange juice
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Combine flour, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder and stir to mix well. Add pumpkin and juice of choice; stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Fold in nuts if used.

Coat an 8-by-4-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Spread mixture evenly in pan and bake at 350 F for 40 to 45 minutes or just until a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Remove bread from oven, let sit for 10 minutes before inverting loaf onto a wire rack, turning right side up, and allowing to cool before cutting and serving.
