3¼ cups all-purpose flour

3 cups white sugar

2 tsp. baking soda

1½ tsp. salt

1 tsp. ground nutmeg

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

2 cups mashed fresh pumpkin (from boiled or roasted pumpkin)

1 cup vegetable oil

²/3 cup water

4 large eggs

½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour three 7×3-inch loaf pans.

Stir flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon together in a large mixing bowl until well blended. Add mashed pumpkin, oil, water, and eggs; beat with an electric mixer until well combined. Fold in walnuts. Divide batter evenly among the prepared pans.

Bake in the pre-heated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of each loaf comes out clean, about one hour.

Remove from the oven and set pans on a wire rack. Let cool completely before slicing. Note: You can use pumpkin puree instead of cooked fresh pumpkin, and raisins instead of walnuts, if desired. n
