Perfect Pumpkin Bread

 

I've searched high and low. I've tested, I've baked, I've experimented, I've perfected, and by george I think I've got it! The perfect pumpkin bread recipe! Here is how I do it: 

1 15 oz can pumpkin puree 

4 eggs 

1 cup oil 

2/3 cup water 

3 cups sugar 

3 1/2 cups flour 

 2 t baking soda 

1 1/2 t salt 

1 t cinnamon (heaping!) 

1 t nutmeg (heaping!) 

3/4 bag chocolate chips (optional)

Mix wet ingredients first, then slowly add in all dry ingredients. Grease 3 7x3 pans really well and pour in batter. Bake at 350 for 55 minutes. 

 *tip after many frustrating attempts with burnt edges and doughy center, I've learned to fill the pans only 1/2 way full. This helps evenly bake! 

*tip 2: This makes a LOT of pumpkin bread- perfect for sharing! Your co-workers or neighbors will thank you!
