Pumpkin Bread

Fall is my favorite time of the year and I love all things pumpkin!  I decided to bake different pumpkin-inspired recipes this Fall, and I'll be sharing them here.  

It may not officially be Fall yet, but I baked pumpkin bread as my first seasonal recipe.  It was really easy and tastes great!  I plan on having this with coffee for breakfast, but it is also a great dessert treat.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup canned unsweetened pumpkin
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cinnamon


Instructions:

In a large bowl, mix the white and brown sugar with the pumpkin and oil.  Once thoroughly mixed, add a beaten egg and the flour.  Mix well, and finally add the baking soda and spices.  Once all stirred and mixed together, pour into a loaf pan (coat with a nonstick spray first) and bake at 350 degrees for approximately 55 minutes.  When you insert a knife into the bread and it comes out clean, the bread is done.
