This bread is so moist and delicious that:
- My 5 year-old begs me to make it regularly and chooses a slice of it over a cookie.
- After making a loaf for my sister, she told me that she woke up in the middle of the night craving it.
- My brother hid it from his fiance when she came over to his apartment for dinner so that he wouldn't have to share.
In addition to all of my anecdotal evidence for why you must try this recipe, you should also know that:
- The bread grows better with age - it is even more moist the 2nd and 3rd day!
- The batch is huge, so it makes great gifts for friends and neighbors; everyone can have their own loaf!
- It has pumpkin in it, so really, it is a health food.
INGREDIENTS
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin
4 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
2/3 cup water

Yummy! Thanks, it'll make a great gift for the preschool teacers! BTW, love the new do, I almost didn't recognize you :)
I cannot wait to try this! It sounds so good.
Do you know if you do not bake all of the batter right away, can you leave it in the fridge for a few days like cookie dough?
I just happened to have everything so we made some. My husband and 2 year old LOVE it. The other two haven't tasted it yet. Thanks for the recipe.
mmmmm, sounds good. I'll be trying this. Thansk!!
I made it this evening! DELICIOUS! Thank you. :0)
So did you bake all 10 loaves plus those giant muffins at one time or was your oven on all day? I am just curious because I only have one loaf pan but I think it is time to buy more! Especially if I want to give them as gifts and eat them! ;o)
Awesome blog!
Try putting a cup of golden raisins and cup of chopped walnuts and this bread is even more delicious.
