Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups sugar

3/4 cup vegetable oil

3 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 cups shredded fresh pumpkin

1 cup toasted pumpkin seeds

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  2. Sift the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla. Combine both mixtures and fold in the shredded pumpkin and pumpkin seeds. Once the ingredients are all incorporated pour into a non- stick 9 by 5 by 3-inch loaf pan. If your pan is not non- stick coat it with butter and flour.
  4. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes. At this point a knife inserted into the middle of the loaf should come out clean. Cool for 15 minutes and turn out onto a cooling rack. Cool completely. For muffins temperature should also be 325 degrees F., but bake for 30 minutes.

I love this recipe. I subbed a 16 oz can of pumpkin instead of fresh pumpkin, replaced 1/3 of the oil with unsweetened applesauce, replaced half the flour with whole wheat flour, and replaced all the sugar with allulose. Instead of mixing in the pumpkin seed kernels, I sprinkled them on top to form a sort of crust. Instead of 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, I used 1 t cinnamon and 2 t pumpkin pie spice, and also added 1/2 tablespoon of molasses. The flavor was great without being too spicy, in fact, I will probably add a little extra ground cloves next time. Since I read that so many reviewers were having issues with the bread taking too long to bake in a loaf pan, I baked mine in a Bundt pan at 325 for one hour. It came out perfect. Will definitely use this recipe again.
