Time 1h40m

Yield 2 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup honey
1/2 cup vegetable oil (I used a light olive)
2 extra large eggs
1 1/2 cups sweet potatoes or 1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/3 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup chopped toasted walnuts (optional) or 3/4 cup pecans (optional)
1/2 cup golden raisin (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375F; butter and flour two 9x5-inch loaf pans.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together oil, honey (if you measure out the oil first, and then put honey in the oiled measuring cup, the honey will come out easier) eggs and sweet potato puree until creamy.
  • In a small bowl, combine both flours, sugar, baking soda, salt and spices.
  • In a measuring cup, combine buttermilk, balsamic vinegar and vanilla extract.
  • Fold dry ingredients into sweet potato mixture, alternating with buttermilk; mix until just combined; if using pecans and/or raisins, toss them with 1 tblsp flour and fold them into the batter quickly; scrape batter into prepared loaf pans and bake for about 60 minutes, or until breads test done when toothpick is inserted into centre and comes out clean; if bread appears to be browning too quickly, tent loosely with some foil and continue baking (I did this about 1/2 an hour into baking).
  • Cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing.
  • Note: Like most quick breads (and cakes), this slices up best a day after baking- I couldn't wait!

HONEY PUMPKIN BREAD



Honey Pumpkin Bread image

The honey not only lends flavor to this bread, but also draws water to the bread, keeping it moist longer! Fresh pumpkin also creates a better flavor - directions for preparing fresh pumpkin are at the bottom of this page.

Categories     < 4 Hours

Time 3h30m

Yield 1 loaf, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup butter
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup honey
1 cup pumpkin
2 eggs
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 fresh pumpkin
1/8 cup oil (or Pam cooking spray)

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients well.
  • Pour into greased 9x5 bread pan.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 hour, or until a knife placed in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack, then remove from pan.
  • Note:Preparing Fresh Pumpkin.
  • There are many different ways to prepare pumpkin, but this is the easiest and quickest method we have found yet. When cooked right, the hard outer shell peels off practically by itself!Sugar pumpkins (the small pumpkins the size of a volleyball) are recommended, but we have used jack-o-lantern sized pumpkins, and even giant 50-100 pound pumpkins, with good results. In general, the smaller the pumpkin, the sweeter the meat. You may need to add more honey with a larger pumpkin (taste before baking). Use fresh pumpkins, not carved pumpkins. Any pulp not used immediately in recipes can be stored for up to 2 days in the refridgerator, or can be stored in the freezer indefinitely. If you store in the freezer, place a 1 cup portion in a plastic bag - this is the amount required by most recipes.
  • Directions:Cut pumpkin in halves (or quarters, if large). Scoop out pulp and seeds. (Seeds can be saved later for roasting.) Lightly oil inside meat of pumpkin. Cover meat side of pumpkin with foil. Place foil-side down on cookie sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 1 1/2 hours, or until meat is soft throughout. Allow to cool until you can handle with your hands. Scrape pulp from rind and place in blender. Puree until consistent throughout. Line colander with coffee filters. Place puree in colander and allow to drain 2-3 hours, or overnight in fridge.

  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving: This will help the bread to hold its shape.
  • Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days: You can also freeze the bread for up to 2 months.
