Mother Marie’s Pumpkin Bread

With Halloween right around the corner, and Thanksgiving after that, I thought it would be a good time to add my mother’s pumpkin “bread” recipe. When you look at the ingredients, you might think pumpkin cake would be a better name for this treat, but either way, it is delightful, and easy to make.

4 eggs
2 cups sugar
1-1/4 cups vegetable oil (or 1 cup oil, 1/4 cup water)
2 cups Libby’s pumpkin pie mix (not just pumpkin)
3 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Mix all ingredients together on medium speed. Pour into two greased 9 x 5-inch loaf pans. Bake at 350 for 1 hour 15 minutes. Can be split into three 8×4 aluminum foil loaf pans (these are great if you are giving the bread away). Reduce cooking time to about an hour if you are using three pans.
