Baking with Quinn

So one of my favorite things to do besides photography is bake! And luckily, I have a husband and two little girls running around so all the goodies get eaten up pretty quickly.  I decided to go with a typical fall theme and make some pumpkin bread since the weather was slightly chilly and had that perfect fall feel (a rarity in Texas.) I was disappointed to find that my favorite pumpkin bread recipe was missing from its spot in my cabinet so I took to Pinterest to see what I could find. My 3 year old, Quinn,  and I were able to bake some deliciousness and we were pretty happy with how it turned out.

I love this stone mini loaf pan I purchased years ago from The Pampered Chef. I don’t sell it nor make any money from stating this, just an opinion.

We had enough of the batter left over so we made some muffins too!

My 6 year old took some to school and they were a hit with the teachers.

Pumpkin Bread

1 15oz can Pumpkin

4 eggs

1 cup vegetable oil

2/3 cup water

3 cups white sugar

3 1/2 cups flour

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1 teaspoon nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon clove

1/4 teaspoon ginger

mini chocolate morsels (I add these for just a hint of chocolate flavor, maybe 1/4 a bag)

Preheat oven to 350, I mix all my wet ingredients first then add the dry ones one at a time with the flour going in last. My mini morsels go in at the very end.  Pour into desired baking dish.  I threw mine in all together so the loaves took about 30-45 mins and the muffins were done in about 25mins.

Enjoy! :o)
