Raisin Pumpkin Bread

We bake bread a lot in my house. I mentioned before that it's about once a week.

My daughter loves baking and of course bread is her number favorite food.

A girl after my own heart. Recently, this pumpkin bread has become our favorite.

Raisin Pumpkin Bread

4 eggs

3 cups sugar

1/2 cup canola oil

1/2 cup applesauce

1 teaspoon nutmeg

1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

1 ( 15 ounce ) can pumpkin

1/2 cup sour cream

1/4 cup milk

2 teaspoons baking soda

3 cups flour

1 cup raisins

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 3 bread loaf pans.

Mix together the eggs, sugar, oil, applesauce and the spices. Then add the pumpkin,

sour cream, milk, baking soda and flour until well blended.

In a microwave safe bowl, cover the raisins with water and cook for about 3 to 3

minutes, until the water comes to a boil and raisins are soften. Drain very well

and then mix into the batter by hand.

Pour the batter into the loaf pans and bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until done.

"Note - you can skip the raisin part all together and put in 1 cup chocolate chips.

That's a great alternative that we love as well.

This pumpkin bread is perfectly moist.
