PUMPKIN BREAD FOR THE HOLIDAYS



Pumpkin Bread for the Holidays image

This recipe I adapted from an older one that was high in fat and sugar. I made it lower in sugar, and wanted to substitute applesauce for the fat. But when I went to make it, I couldn't find my applesauce in the pantry. My eyes fell on a jar of all-natural apple butter, and I used that instead. It made such a great pumpkin bread...

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 c pumpkin, cooked and mashed
1/2 c apple butter
1/2 c sorghum molasses or brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 c whole wheat flour
3/4 c all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp grated nutmeg
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice (optional)
1/3 c buttermilk or water
1/2 c chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 x 5 inch bread pan. Beat apple butter and sorghum together in a medium bowl; add eggs and mix well.
  • 2. Combine dry ingredients in another bowl. Add dry ingredients and buttermilk or water to sorghum mixture. Mix in pumpkin and nuts.
  • 3. Spoon batter into prepared pan. Bake for 55-60 minutes. Remove from oven and place pan on cooling rack. Cool loaf 15 minutes before inverting to take it out of the pan.

This is my go-to pumpkin bread and I always get rave reviews. It's quick and easy to make and wonderfully moist. Plus you'll end up with 3 loaves! Perfect for entertaining or to freeze one for later use. Don't skip the sifting of the dry ingredients--it really adds to the texture.

My son starts asking for this pumpkin bread before Thanksgiving. I make 2 or 3 batches every week between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Closer to Christmas I make tons for friends, neighbors and my hubbys golf buddys!!! This is probably my favorite thing to make for the Christmas holidays. Tie it with red and green ribbon and it makes a sweet gift.

HOLIDAY PUMPKIN BREAD

I honestly have no idea where I got this recipe. It's been hanging out in my recipe box as long as I've been doing holiday baking and I make it every year to put in my gift baskets at Christmas. It's always a huge hit and it's a little lower cal than most pumpkin breads. Oh . . . and it's milk free for those with milk allergies! Hope you like it as much as we do!
