Mom's Pumpkin Bread
Ingredients:
2 cups pumpkin puree
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs, beaten
1 2/3 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground clove
1/2 cup raisins (optional)
1/2 cup nuts (optional)
Directions:
Preheat your grill to 350°F and setup for indirect cooking.
In the bowl of your stand mixer, add the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, beaten eggs, and mix for about a minute until completely combined. Combine your dry ingredients in another bowl and whisk to combine. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the mixer bowl with the mixer on a lower speed. Mix until smooth.
Divide the batter equally between two 4x8 loaf pans (or multiple smaller pans) and cook for about 60 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out cleanly. Remove from the grill, cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes, remove from pan and let cool completely.
Note:
I soaked my raisins overnight in Jack Daniel's Old No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey. It was worth the effort.
