Easy and OMG Good Pumpkin Bread


Maple Hill Manor fills with aroma of fresh baked Pumpkin Bread.

Slap on some butter to a warm slice and feel your eyes roll back in your head with the first bite.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups shredded fresh pumpkin
  • 1 cup toasted pumpkin seeds

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

Sift the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together.

In a separate bowl, mix the sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla. Combine both mixtures and fold in the shredded pumpkin and pumpkin seeds. Once the ingredients are all incorporated pour into a non- stick 9 by 5 by 3-inch loaf pan. If your pan is not non- stick coat it with butter and flour. Or make muffins using muffin tins. As long as you can still rub some butter on them. lol

Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes. At this point a knife inserted into the middle of the loaf should come out clean. Cool for 15 minutes and turn out onto a cooling rack. Cool completely. For muffins temperature should also be 325 degrees F., but bake for 30 minutes.

"BedandBreakfast.com surveys show that independent reviews are the most important factor when choosing a B&B.

“We recently enjoyed our seventh visit at Maple Hill Manor. We love the area's Bourbon Trail and historical attractions. We love the serene setting of the llama/alpaca farm – and its farm store featuring garments and gift items made from the Alpacas raised on this farm. We love the elegant rooms. We love the gourmet breakfast feasts (and 24-hour dessert bar). We especially have come to love our gracious hosts. We enthusiastically recommend Maple Hill Manor to anyone who yearns for a relaxing getaway to an exquisite part of the country with plenty of pampering.”
