Equipment

  • 8 1/2" x 4 1/2 "loaf pan
  • parchment paper
  • mixing bowls of various sizes

Ingredients
  

For the bread

  • 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup cooking oil
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin * not pumpkin pie filling
  • 1/2 cup pecans, chopped * divided

For the glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • pinch of ground cinnamon
  • 3-4 teaspoons water

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, granulated sugar and brown sugar.
  • Make a well into the center. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the cooking oil, beaten eggs, water and canned pumpkin.
  • Whisk together and then pour into the well of the dry ingredients; mix all together until just combined. Fold in half of the chopped pecans.
  • Pour the batter into a parchment lined and greased 8 1/2" x 4 1/2 " loaf pan. Bake at 350°F for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
  • Cool bread in pan 15 minutes, then turn out to wire rack to cool completely.
  • Once cool, combine the ingredients for the glaze, adding enough of the water until it reaches a drizzling consistency. Drizzle over the cooled loaf and sprinkle the top of the loaf with the remaining pecans before cutting.

Notes

 
  • Do not over mix the batter
  • Store in airtight container for up to 72 hours
  • Bread freezes well sealed in an airtight container for up to 3 months
