Dee's Pumpkin Bread

When I saw Dee's recipe for pumpkin bread, I knew I had to try it. I was smart this time and copied the recipe, because she is always cleaning house on her blog and deleting posts...so here it is: (I doubled the recipe and made one with raisins and walnuts and the other smaller loaf plain. Both were delicious!)




1 1/2 cup flour
1/2 t baking soda

1/4 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
1 1/2 t cinnamon
1/2 t fresh ground nutmeg
1/2  cup brown sugar

1/2  cup white sugar
1 cup pumpkin
2 eggs
1/2 cup oil
1/4 cup pecans

1/4 cup raisins

Combine flour, soda, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon in a large bowl.  Stir until well blended.

In another bowl, add sugars, pumpkin, eggs, oil, pecans and raisins.  Mix very well.

Make well in the center of the dry ingredients.  Pour in wet ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until not dry portions remain.  Do not overmix.

Pour into a well-greased  9 1/2x 5 1/4x 2 3/4 pan.

Bake at 350°F for 50-55 minutes or until tester comes out clean.
