One More Fall Favorite

 The last favorite fall recipe that I am going to share is for a quick bread that is on my list to make again this weekend.  It freezes super well so I almost always make a double batch--one for now and one for some day when I am completely unmotivated and need some thing "different" for the family breakfasts.  It always hits the spot! 

Pumpkin Bread
1 1/2 c. flour
1 c. brown sugar, packed
1 c. solid pack pumpkin (approx. 1/2 of a can)
1/2 c. butter, softened
2 eggs
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. of each-ground cloves, ground ginger and nutmeg

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease a 9x5x3in. loaf pan.  (Yes, I use the spray with flour.) In a large bowl combine all ingredients.  Beat until well mixed; pour into prepared pan. Bake approximately 45-55 minutes or until wooden pick inserted into center comes out clean.  Let cool in pan on wire rack 10 minutes.  Loosen edges; remove from pan.  Cool completely on wire rack.  Makes 1 loaf.
