My three year old loves to help me bake in kitchen. So today, we decided to try some Pumpkin Bread. Perfect treat for a fall day. I looked through Pinterest and found a good recipe to use as a starting point.
The recipe I found made 2 loaves. Well, my hubby doesn’t like pumpkin so we just wanted to make one loaf. I didn’t want to have too much extra that would go to waste. So I took this recipe and cut it half. Used a little bit bigger pan so it would be a little more flat on top.
Gather your ingredients…
Mix dry ingredients in medium sized bowl. Set aside.
Mix butter and sugar in separate bowl.
Then, Add egg to butter and sugar.
Next, Add pumpkin.
Finally, Add flour mix to bowl.
Pour in pan.
Bake 325 degrees for 40-50 minutes. I checked around 40 minutes and put it in for another 7 minutes.
Allow to cool in pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, transfer to cooling rack.
Country Crock spread on top made it taste just a little bit better.
