1/2 tsp vanilla (I add a lil extra, around 1 tsp vanilla)
2 eggs
1 cup mashed pumpkin
1/3 cup juice or water (apple juice works well)
optional- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Optional- mini chocolate chips around 6oz
Instructions
Spray loaf pan with non-stick spray or grease with butter and flour. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a bowl sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger. In another bowl cream shortening and sugar together until smoothe. Then beat in vanilla and eggs one at a time. Beat thoroughly after adding each egg.
Stir in pumpkin. Stir in dry ingredients in alternating additions of juice or water with the dry ingredients. Dont overbeat the mixture. Fold in nuts if needed.
Pour into loaf pan. Bake for 45-50 mins until tester comes out clean. Cool right side up on a wire rack.
I find that when the loaf is warm that if you wrap it in plastic wrap overnight that the bread will stay moist and not dry out.
