Nutty Pumpkin Bread

Every time I've made this loaf people always ask me for the recipe so here goes...

1/2 cup flour

1/2 teaspoon of salt

3/4 cup of sugar

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup pumpkin puree (you can use the canned stuff or make your own, I've done both and there's no difference in taste)

1/2 cup olive oil

2 eggs, beaten

1/4 cup water

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon allspice

1/2 cup chopped nuts (I've made it with walnuts, pecans or almonds and they all work but my personal fave is the walnut version)

Preheat the oven to 350˚F.

Mix together the dry ingredients (except the nuts) and the wet ingredients in separate bowls.

Then combine them, do not mix too thoroughly.

Stir in the nuts.

Pour into a greased loaf pan and bake for 60 minutes.

Check that the middle is fully cooked with a toothpick before removing it from the oven.

I found that when I made my own fresh pumpkin puree it needed an extra 10 minutes.

Let it cool for a bit before eating it or else it will fall apart on you.
