Yummy Pumpkin Bread

I love Pumpkin Bread. I've tried many different recipes but this is my favourite.

You need
1/2 c. butter (1 stick)
1 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. pumpkin puree (not the pie filling)
1/2 c. sour cream or yogurt
1 1/2 c. flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinammon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/8 tsp. ground cloves

Start with the following ingredients:


1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
1 c. sugar

Sugar and butter creamed

Cream these together until it looks crumbly.

Eggs and vanilla added

Next add:

2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla

Beat until smooth. Now add

1 c. pumpkin puree (not the pie filling!)
1/2 cup sour cream or yogurt

Beat again until well mixed

Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl mix the following dry ingredients

1 1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinammon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/8 tsp. ground cloves

Final Batter Ready for Oven

Beat until mixed the pour into one greased loaf pan. I use spray oil to grease my pans.

Bake at 350' for one hour. The loaves you see here were from this recipe but I put them into two mini loaf pans as I wanted a loaf that was not as high as baking in one pan would give. For two smaller pans bake 45 minutes

Test with a knife in the middle to be sure the inside is no longer wet. Enjoy!
