Directions
Downeast Maine Pumpkin Bread,This is a very moist bread and actually even tastes better the day after it has been baked.,I love this recipe. I altered several things to get the flavors of nutmeg and cinnamon to enhance with the pumpkin for a savory taste, adding a substantial amount of spices (2 -3 Tablespoons of the above mentioned spices) until the mixture looks rusty brown. I also use vanilla extract (1 tablespoon) and a 32 ounce can of pumpkin puree. This makes it super moist. In addition, I cut the sugar with 1/2 cup of dark brown sugar, and 1 1/2- 2 cups of white granulated sugar along with an additional egg to ensure rise. Greasing the pans than lining with wax paper, flour, and a light pam spray helps to lift the bread out of the pan as well pre-wraps it for me to let it cool before wrapping and placing it in a Ziploc bag for freezer or refrigerator. I have made this recipe for many years now, and Everyone absolutely loves it. A favorite of mine hands down.,Our family adds a bag of fresh cranberries (this recipe is why I always buy extra bags at Thanksgiving to put in the freezer) & at least 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans. The tartness with the sweet is scrumptious!
