JO ANN'S PUMPKIN BREAD MINI-MUFFINS

 With this post, you are going to get "two things in one". When Cafe Treats Baker Jo Ann offered to bring Pumpkin Mini-Muffins, I didn't know we would be getting a recipe for pumpkin bread also. You see Jo Ann used a favorite recipe for Pumpkin Bread, but instead of making loaves of pumpkin bread, she made these darling little mini-muffins that can be eaten in one bite. That's because they are so light tasting, not heavy like a lot of quick breads and just the right amount of pumpkin and spices. 

So depending on what you mood you are in or what your need is, you can make some pumpkin bread or some delightful little mini-muffins. Of course if you don't want mini-muffins, just make regular sized ones. Either way you have got a winner here with this recipe.

PUMPKIN BREAD

3-1/2   cups flour

2         teaspoons baking soda

2         teaspoons cinnamon

1-1/2   teaspoons salt

1         teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

1-1/2   cups sugar

1-1/2   cups brown sugar

1         cup oil

4         eggs

2/3      cup water

2         cups (16-oz can) pumpkin

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. 

Combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg (if using), sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl with a whisk.

Stir together the oil, eggs, water, and canned pumpkin in a bowl.

Add ingredients in both bowls together and stir until ingredients are combined.

Note: At this point, you can make 3 medium sized loaves in sprayed pans and bake for 75 minutes.

OR make mini-muffins in a sprayed mini-muffin pans baked for about 13 minutes. (Jo Ann used mini-muffin paper cup liners.)
