Perfect Pumpkin Bread
submitted by~Melanie

1 (15oz) can pumpkin puree
4 eggs
1 c vegetable oil
2/3 c water
3 cups sugar
3 1/2 c flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cloves

*Optional Variations–see below

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease and flour pans (this will make 3 small 7×3 loaf pans or 8 mini loaf pans).

In a large bowl, mix together pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, water and sugar until well blended.  In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.  Stir the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture until just blended.  Pour into the prepared pans. *if desired stir in mini chocolate chips or sprinkle loaves with crumb topping (recipe follows) before baking.

Bake for about 50-60 minutes in the preheated oven.  Loaves are done when toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.  Do not over cook!

*Optional Variations

Crumb Topping
1/2 cup butter
1/2 c quick oats
1/2 c flour
1/2 c brown sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
6 TB chopped pecans (if desired–we leave out)

Using a pastry cutter combine topping and sprinkle on top of loaves before baking.

Brown Butter Glaze
1/4 cup butter, warmed in a pan until it turns light brown
2 c powdered sugar
3 Tb hot water or milk
1/2 tsp vanilla
Combine the warm butter and vanilla with enough powdered sugar and water to get the right consistency to pour over loaves.  I put it on pretty thick pictured above, but you could definatly make the glaze thinner by adding a little more hot water or milk.  Also–you can heat it up again if it starts to stiffen.
