Pumpkin Bread

Ingredients:

• 3 1/2 cups sifted flour
• 1 1/2 tsp. salt
• 2 tsp. baking soda
• 2 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 tsp. nutmeg
• 3 cups raw sugar (or if you prefer, I used regular)
• 1/2 cup coconut oil (I used olive oil)
• 4 eggs
• 2/3 cup water
• 2 cups cooked pumpkin
• 1 1/2 cups pecans

Instructions:

Mix all wet ingredients together; sift in dry ingredients and blend until smooth. Fold in nuts. Bake 1 hour at 350 degrees. Makes 2-4 loaf pans or 2 Bundt pans. Fill pans half full, because it will rise 1/3 to 1/2 again. This freezes well.

Note: "What a blessing! When changing a recipe from white flour to whole grain flour, double spices, or sometimes triple them. Whole grain baked items tend to be more bland and spices are rich in trace elements, so use them generously." From: Homestead Blessings Cookbook
