Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F. Generously grease 7- small (6″x3″) loaf pans or 2 large (9″x6″) loaf pans with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients – flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a medium sized bowl, add all the wet ingredients- pumpkin, eggs, oil, and water. Whisk together until combined.
Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until all ingredients are combined into a smooth batter.
Pour batter into greased pans. Bake smaller loaves for 40 minutes and larger loaves for about 1 hour or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow the loaves to cool on a wire rack before removing from the pans and storing or freezing. I wrap the cooled loaves in saran wrap and place in a Ziploc bag to store in the fridge or freezer.
