Sara's Pumpkin Bread

Ingredients:
2 cups canned pumpkin puree
1 cup vegetable oil
2-2/3 cups white sugar
4 eggs
3 cups and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cloves

Directions:
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 9x5 inch loaf pans.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the pumpkin, oil, sugar, and eggs. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves; stir into the pumpkin mixture until well blended. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
  3. Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour. The top of the loaf should spring back when lightly pressed.

Sara's Modifications:
Change the servings to "24" instead of "36," and it makes one enormous 9x5 loaf. (The original recipe makes 3 9x5 loaves.)
Use 1/2 whole wheat flour and only 1 3/4c sugar (of which 1/2c is brown sugar).
Add an extra 1/2tsp cinnamon and 1/4c ground flaxseed.
