Pumpkin Bread

This is a moist and delicious treat that we love to enjoy every fall.  It fills the house with delicious smells and begs us to pick every crumb off of our plates.

Ingredients:
1 - 15oz can of pumpkin puree
4 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups Splenda sugar blend for baking (you can use regular white sugar too)
3/4 cup water
3 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cloves
1/4 tsp ginger

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease and flour 6 3x5 loaf pans.

In a large bowl mix together pumpkin, eggs, vegetable oil, water, sugar, and vanilla; until well blended.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt and spices.

Stir the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture until just blended.  Pour into prepared pans.

After making 4 loaves I added 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips to the rest of the batter and made a couple of them into Pumpkin Chocolate Chip loaves.

Bake for about 40-45 minutes in preheated oven.

Loaves are done when a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Cut you a piece, grab a fork and enjoy!  These make a great little gift to share with a friend or neighbor.

If you divide each loaf into fifths then 1/5 is worth 5 Weight Watchers points.  If you make it with regular sugar it's more...not sure how much more.
