Pumpkin-Nut Bread

First Halloween for my kid: I HAD to make him a Jack-o-Lantern, there was no way around it!! So after hollowing the pumpkin I was left with this huge amount of fresh pumpkin and no idea what to do with it...........luckily I remembered once eating a really nice pumpkin bread at a party and loved it so I had to go after the recipe immediately! 
This bread is really moist and tasty, the cinnamon and nutmeg give it a nice autumn  flavor and the nuts (I use walnuts and pecans) provide that extra crunch.







Ingredients:
  • 2 cups all propuse flour
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1/2 tablespon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon grounded cinammon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup pumpking puree (or flesh)
  • 1 cup mixed nuts 



Directions:
  1. Preheat the over at 200°C
  2. Sift all the dry ingredients into a large bowl.
  3. Add the sugar, milk and eggs and mix together.
  4. Stir in the pumpking, oil and half of the nuts. Mix together.
  5. Spoon into a greased baking pan (preferably a loaf bread pan) and sprinkle the remaining nuts on top.
  6. Bake for 50 minutes or untill a wodden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
