5 eggs
1 ½ cups (300 g) of sugar
1 (15-oz can) (424 g) of pure pumpkin puree (about 1 3/4 cup)
1 cup (240 ml) of vegetable oil
1/2 cup (120 ml) of water
3 ½ cups (420 g) of flour
3 tsp (45 g) of pumpkin pie spice (or 2 tsp cinnamon, 3/4 tsp nutmeg, 1/8 tsp cloves, 1/8 tsp ground ginger)
2 teaspoons (10 ml) baking soda
1 ½ tsp (7.5 ml) salt
Optional
1 cup (240 ml) of raisins or chocolate chips
1 cup (240 ml) of walnuts
1 cup (240 ml) of Pepitas (Toasted Pumpkin Seeds)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F (176C) degrees.
Grease two 9" x 5" (23 cm x 13 cm) loaf pans with baking spray.
In a medium bowl whisk together the dry ingredients and set aside.
In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, sugar, pumpkin puree, oil, and water.
Add the dry ingredients, into the wet ingredients, 1/3 at a time, being careful not to over mix! (Or you will have tough bread!)
Add the raisins or chocolate chips if using.
Distribute batter equally across two prepared loaf pans. Top one with walnuts and top the other with Pepitas.
Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45-50 mins
Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before packaging up for gifting
