The Pumpkin Bread Project

Thought I'd share how I used some of my pumpkin butter, and kept my kids happy when we ran out of snacks mid-week.

I've been making a variation of this recipe for a long time, but this was the first time I've tried it with premade pumpkin butter... and the verdict is:  Super-quick, easy, and yummy.  This particular variation of the recipe rivals the simplicity of putting together a cake or quickbread out of a box... and my youngest LOVED helping every single step of the way.

Sanity Saver Pumpkin Bread

3/4 cup sugar

1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 cup pumpkin butter

1/2 cup olive oil

2 eggs, lightly beaten

1/4 cup water

Preheat oven to 350f.  Sift together flour, salt, soda, and sugar.  In a seperate bowl, combine the remaining ingredients.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient bowl and stir making sure not to over-incorporate.

Pour batter into an oiled loaf pan and bake 50-60 minutes.

Remove and cool on a rack.

Pay EXTRA close attention to your toddler, or you will find this when you go to check whether the bread is cool:

Enjoy!   We sure did!
