Pumpkin Molasses Bread

Ingredients

• 15 oz can pumpkin puree
• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup molasses
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1 Tbsp pumpkin pie spice
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 1/2 tsp salt

Directions

1. Set your oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk the pumpkin puree with the eggs, vegetable oil, milk, molasses, sugar, and pumpkin pie spice until the mixture looks completely smooth.
2. In another bowl, stir together the flour, salt, and baking powder, making sure everything is evenly blended.
3. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, then stir only until the batter comes together evenly. Go easy here, because overmixing is how you end up with a gummy loaf.
4. Coat a loaf pan with non-stick spray, pour in the batter, and bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick poked into the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool all the way before you slice it.
