Fall Harvest Apple-Spiked Pumpkin Bread
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 12 cup rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 12 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup pumpkin, Prepared
- 12 cup apple, Peeled and Roughly Chopped
- 12 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 large egg
- 1 egg white
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 14 teaspoon allspice
- 34 teaspoon salt
- To prepare pumpkin: First of all, use a smaller variety of pumpkin (about the size of a bag of popped popcorn).
- The lighter the skin, the sweeter the taste.
- Cut the pumpkin in half and scoop out the seeds and pulp.
- Save the seeds for drying or roasting (trust me.)
- Put both halves cut side down on a foil lined baking sheet, loosely cover them with foil, and pop them in the oven for about an hour at 375.
- When they're done, scoop the flesh from the skin with a spoon and mush up the yummy pumpkin goodness.
- It should keep in a refrigetator for about a week or so.
- If you've decided to just go with canned pumpkin: Open the can.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and ready a 9x5 inch loaf pan (cooking spray or oil work just fine.)
- In one bowl, combine the flour, oats, baking soda, salt, allspice, and cinnamon.
- In another bowl, combine the brown sugar, pumpkin, egg, egg white, and apple sauce until the mixture looks like bright orange mush.
- Stir the dry stuff into the wet stuff just until you don't see dry stuff anymore.
- Fold in the chopped apples.
- At this point, you can also add any solid ingredients (nuts, berries, the like) that you think would taste good inside of a loaf of pumpkin bread.
- Pour the batter into your loaf pan and sprinkle a few pumpkin seeds on top.
- Bake in the middle oven position at 350 degrees for about an hour, turning once or twice throughout the process.
- It will look and smell done - just check it with a toothpick.
- As a precautionary measure, I recommend putting a foil-lined baking sheet on the rack below the bread so it doesn't get so much direct heat from the bottom heating element.
- When you decide that the baking process has completed, cool the bread for about 10 minutes to let the anxiety build.
- Flip the loaf out of the pan and let it cool a bit more to build up some extra anxiety.
- Enjoy your supprisingly easy to make pumpkin bread and give yourself a hug for a job well done.
