★ 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
★ 4 eggs
★ 1 cup vegetable oil
★ 2/3 cup water
★ 3 cups white sugar
★ 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
★ 2 teaspoons baking soda
★ 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
★ 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
★ 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
★ 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
★ 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour 7×3 inch loaf pan and grease one muffin pan.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, water and sugar until well blended.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger.
3. Stir the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture until just barely blended! DO NOT OVER STIR.
4. Pour into the prepared pans. I find it helps to use an ice cream scoop for the muffins. I filled them 2/3 the way full. The bread was about half way, maybe pushing 2/3.
5. Bake the muffins for 15 minutes at 425° F. Bake the bread for about 50 minutes at 350° F. Goodies are done when a toothpick inserted in to the center comes out clean.

This and a hot cup of tea and I think we’ll be set!
Ed, Daniel, dazedreverie, thank you!
A Goddess of Divine Indifference, OH NO! I usually use the cans for everything! (Pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin smoothies, pumpkin pumpkin pumpkin!) But it’s probably if you use a fresh pumpkin anyway!
Azwebear, Okinawa, Michigan, and pumpkin-anything?! I think we’ll get along just fine!
I love pumpkin-anything.. this looks absolutely delicious.
Should I just halve it if i want just muffins?? I’m gonna try that now, wish me luck!!
oh, you have me so jealous!!
My mom was at the store yesterday and was looking for the cans of pumpkin and the guy working there told her that they didn’t have any because of the fires in california destroying there crops! So I don’t know when we’ll be getting any pumpkin … very disappointed, I’m desperate to make my annual pumpkin cake! May just have to go ahead and use a fresh pumpkin!
I just baked a fresh one the other night and it’s almost gone because I can’t stop eating it, ahahah.
Now that looks good. Nice image.
Daniel
