Another great Thanksgiving tradition in our family is Mom's perfectly moist and delicious Pumpkin bread; a recipe that is also a "must-have" at all our holiday tables. It's just not the same without it and it has been a family favorite for over 30 years.

Ingredients For mom's moist and amazing pumpkin bread

  • 4
    eggs
  • 1 1/2 c
    100% pure canned pumpkin
  • 1 c
    vegetable oil
  • 3 c
    sugar
  • 3 c
    all purpose flour
  • 2 tsp
    cinnamon
  • 1 tsp
    pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 tsp
    ground cloves
  • 2 tsp
    baking soda
  • 1 1/2 tsp
    baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp
    salt
  • 1 c
    chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 1/2 c
    chopped dates (or raisins if you prefer)

How To Make mom's moist and amazing pumpkin bread

  • 1
    CREAM TOGETHER the first 4 ingredients in a medium sized bowl.
  • 2
    SIFT TOGETHER the next 7 ingredients in a separate, large bowl.
  • 3
    Add the creamed mixture to the flour mix and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, then STIR in the chopped nuts and dates.
  • 4
    Pour batter into 2 greased 8x4x3 (or larger) loaf pans. Bake in preheated oven at 350 for approximately 1 hour. It may take a few minutes longer depending on your oven and the size loaf pans you use, so use a cake tester or toothpick inserted in center to test for doneness. When it comes clean, it's done!
  • 5
    Let cool in pan for about 10 minutes, then remove and place loaves on wire rack for about 30 minutes. IMPORTANT: Wrap each loaf in foil while still a little warm and then wrap again in plastic wrap and place in refrigerator or freezer until ready to serve. This step guarantees a beautiful and moist pumpkin bread!
