Pumpkin-Cranberry Gift Loaves


Ingredients

  • 1 (15-ounce) can pure pumpkin (about 1-3/4  cups)

  • 1-1/4 cups sugar

  • 3 eggs or 3/4 cup egg substitute

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil

  • 1-1/2 tsp baking soda

  • 2 tsp baking powder

  • 2 tsp cinnamon

  • 1-1/2 tsp nutmeg

  • 2-1/4 cups flour

  • 1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts

  • 2 cups fresh cranberries


Directions

Preheat oven to 325°F. Spray 6 baby loaf pans (about 6 inches long) with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, use a whisk to combine pumpkin, sugar, eggs, and vegetable oil. Add dry ingredients, stirring until everything is combined. Stir in nuts and cranberries. Bake for 45 minutes or until a knife inserted comes out clean.

This is a very moist quick bread. Cool in pans for 10 minutes. Remove to rack and let cool completely before wrapping.
