Take A Bite Of: Momcatt's Pumpkin Bread

One of my favorite baked goods coming out of my Mom's kitchen. And since Fall is being ushered in, this is a perfect treat for this season and the holidays. I also make mini loaves to give away. Perfect alone, slightly more perfect with butter, and if you want a twist, try a little cream cheese. Heaven. And the days I am really missing my Mom, this is a go to item. Filling our kitchen with the same great smell.

Since this is our last day in Seattle, I hope I get some of this to take home. (HINT HINT MOM!)
I need pumpkin bread to soothe us on the l-o-n-g plane ride back to Atlanta.

Buon Appetito!

And Happy Labor Day weekend.

Momcatt's Pumpkin Bread

Ingredients:

3 c. sugar
1 c. oil ( I use canola)
4 eggs
1 1/2 t salt
1 t cinnamon
1 t nutmeg
2 t (rounded) baking soda
2 c. pumpkin (or you can use 1 15oz can of Libby)
2/3 c water

Mix together

Add 3 1/2 c flour. Mix until moistened.

Pour into greased loaf pans. Bake 1 hour at 350 degrees.

And just try to share some ok?

  5. When I was still at varsity my mom would always bake four loaves of banana bread for me and the friends to devour during the week. I gained so much weight in my first year partly due to the fact that I just ate all of the loaves myself because I missed home so much! Have a safe trip back; I'm sure it will be hard to say good bye to the family after a week of fun :(

  6. Oh Gosh... I make this bread for my kids and you are not kidding about it being delish. I like to bring it camping and slather it with cream cheese FROSTING for a special breakfast/dessert treat. Yum-olicious.

  31. I am a HUUUUUUUUUUUGE fan of breads: pumpkin, zucchini, tomato soup, fill in the blank!

    Momcatt has it going on!

    ReplyDelete
  32. We used to have a Japanese Persimmon tree in our yard (they're the big, fat, juicy kind). I once used them in the same recipe and boy was it delicious.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Me and pumkin jive because of it's color...that's about it.

    Pumpkin pie: you can't make me.
    Pumpkin bread: nu-uh.
    Pumpkin on my feet: thankyouverymuch.


    Although, I sense my taste buds changing. I actually had pumpkin/flax seed french toast the other morning, and I liked it.

    So, I'll give Momcatt's recipe a whirl. Cream cheese is a Godsend, no?

  36. Thanks for stopping by and sharing a cocktail with ShaMoo - she's obviously dwelling on her completely rotten day (almost a year ago!). I don't blame her though, I remember every detail because it was just so awful. heehee.

    Your Mom's pumpkin bread... well I can almost smell it already. I will definitely be making some of this very soon!!! I'm so over summer (not that we had much of one this year) and ready to move on to Autumn, wearing cozy sweaters, and having rosy cheeks.

    Glad you had a fantastic trip! And thanks for blogging during - we all appreciate it!

    ReplyDelete

  59. Pumpkin bread and muffins are so good. My MIL makes an amazing pumpkin bread for the holidays & it makes me so sad that my Mamacita is allergic to pumpkins (and a host of other yummy things).

    ReplyDelete
  60. Oh, heck yeah. I'm all over all things pumpkin. I have consumed my fair share of pumpkin spice lattes this week. Ah ha. That bread is calling my name!

    ReplyDelete
  61. Oh, man, pumpkin bread. I was resisting until I saw the picture. Good thing I'm heading to the grocery store today. I'll copy the recipe. Warm pumpkin bread with cream cheese for breakfast tomorrow.

  62. Ohh pumpkin bread! This is one of my favorites too! My recipe is a little different so i'm looking forward to trying your sometime.
    Since we're living in Northern Ireland right now we can't get canned pumpkin! So i've been using sweet potato instead and with the spices it tastes almost the same!

    Thanks for visiting my blog and taking time to leave a comment! It's nice to meet you! And thank you for your prayers!

  70. Thanks for stopping by and, oh my goodness, time for pumpkin bread already? Yes! That is probably my favorite bread ever! We are so ready for autumn here.

    Probably because it means an end to the jungle-like Korean heat and humidity. ;)

    Share some of the scrumptious pumpkin bread? Maybe. A teeny bite...

  74. Oh, yum!! I hope mom delivered. And that you made it back to Atlanta without any hiccups.

    I did see this weekend that Starbucks has brought back their pumpkin spice latte - guess where I'm going tomorrow right after dropping the kiddos off at school.
