Pumpkin Spice Walnut Bread...

I created this recipe to use up a can of Pumpkin Pie Mix that I had in my pantry. We don't really care for pumpkin pie, but we like pumpkin. I adapted my Grandma Ruby's Apple Bread recipe to make this Pumpkin Spice Walnut Bread.

 

I store my recipes in binders, but I kept my old recipe cards written by family and friends to remind me of them.

Blend:

2 Eggs

1 Cup Sugar

1/2 C Oil

Add:

2 1/4 C Flour

1/4 Tsp Salt

1 Tsp Baking Soda

2 C Pumpkin Pie Mix

1 C Chopped Walnuts

1 Tsp Vanilla

Mix well. Pour into a lined or well greased loaf pan. Dust top with chopped walnuts and a spoonful of sugar.(Optional) Bake in a pre-heated 350* degree oven until a toothpick comes out clean. (about 1 hour 15 minutes)

I prefer to line my cast iron bread pans with parchment paper when I am baking anything in them other than regular yeast breads.
 

This flavorful sweet bread would be a great make ahead Thanksgiving breakfast addition. This recipe can be easily made into muffins or individual mini-loaves. Enjoy!
