Alicia's Mom's Pumpkin Bread

Alicia's Mom's Pumpkin Bread





Ingredients:
  • Wet Phase:
    • 1 15oz can pumpkin
    • 2 eggs
    • 1/2 cup oil
    • 1/3 cup water
    • 1 cup sugar
    • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar (Will's modification uses dark brown sugar)
  • Dry Phase:
    • 1 3/4 cup flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 3/4 teaspoon salt
    • 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon (Will's modification increased this by 1/4)
    • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
    • 1/4 teaspoon cloves
    • 1/8 teaspoon ginger
  • Final Phase:
    • 3/4 cup chocolate chips (Will's modification added this)

Original Directions:
  1. Mix & Bake @ 350 degrees for 50 minutes

Will's Modified Directions:
  1. I modified the original recipe by just adding maybe an extra 1/4 tsp of cinnamon, 3/4 cup chocolate chips, and using dark brown sugar.
  2. I put all the ingredients in the left column in a bowl and whisk until combined.
  3. Separately combine all the dry ingredients (right column) and whisk together.
  4. Dump half dry into wet ingredients and hand mix until just combined.
  5. Pour the last dry into the wet and hand mix until just combined.
  6. Lastly add chocolate chips and fold in.
  7. Bake at 350 degress for 70 minutes.  The instructions say 50 min, I think it takes closer to 70 minutes (dunno if that's an altitude thing).
  8. After ~65 minutes, I just check the bread every 5 minutes by pushing a knife all the way in and if mushy bread is on the knife then it's not done
