Christmas Pumpkin Bread
I have been baking this Pumpkin Bread for Christmas time for over 20 years. I found this recipe in a book of Christmas treats and ideas that I have since lost but I remember the recipe. I make this with all the love I have for my family and friends. I hope you enjoy it.

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Place rack in the middle for optimum heating. Prepare 3 aluminum loaf pans with light coating of baking spray, place pans on cookie sheet to stabilize weight of loaves. Set aside.
  2. Combine all dry ingredients, blending well to distribute spices and baking powder throughout. Create well in the middle of dry ingredients. Set aside.
  3. Whisk 5 eggs until well mixed. Add oil and water and blend well. Add liquid mixture to dry well area, stirring until well blended. Fold in pumpkin puree and continue blending.
  4. Pour batter into loaves 2/3 full, alternating between pans until equally distributed. OPTIONAL PECANS- if you are baking with pecans and want to make less than three loaves with nuts, reserve portion for loaves with pecans and fold the chopped pecans into the batter.
  5. Arrange loaf pans on cookie sheet. Place in oven to bake for 1 hour. Let cool and dust with powdered sugar.
