Pumpkin (Squash) Bread

Posted on by

This is at least the second squash bread recipe I’ve tried, and this one is good! It is from the Amateur Gourmet. Just in case the page disappears, here is the recipe (slightly modified):

Ingredients

  • 3 Cups raw sugar
  • 1/2 Cup Olive Oil
  • 3 large eggs (organic, home raised)
  • 2 Cups Butternut Squash (from the garden)
  • 1 Cup Entire Wheat Flour (freshly ground Bronze Chief wheat)
  • 2 Cups AP flour
  • 1 (heaping) Teaspoon each of Cinnamon, Cloves, Fresh ground Nutmeg
  • 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 Cup toasted nuts (optional)

Directions

Mix sugar and oil, add eggs. Add squash. Mix well. Add dry ingredients, mix until almost incorporated. Add nuts. Pour into greased and floured loaf pans. Bake @ 350ยบ for 70 minutes.

Simple, and delicious. P.S. Makes two loaves.
