Pumpkin Bread: A Warm and Cozy Treat
Pumpkin bread is a classic fall treat that is sure to warm you up on a chilly day. It is moist and flavorful, with a delicate pumpkin spice flavor. Pumpkin bread is also a good source of fiber and protein, making it a healthier choice than many other sweet treats.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the pumpkin puree.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips:
- For a sweeter bread, add an extra 1/2 cup of sugar.
- For a spicier bread, add an extra 1/2 teaspoon of each spice.
- For a richer bread, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
- For a vegan bread, use vegan butter and eggs.
