Bernadette Petrotta's Tasty Pumpkin Bread.
All ingredients Bernadette uses are organic when possible!
Ingredients:
1 cup sugar (the original recipe calls for 3 cups sugar)
1 can (15 oz.) solid-pack pumpkin
1 cup Graber Extra Virgin Olive Oil
4 large eggs
2/3 cups water
3 l/2 cups all-purpose flour (Bernadette used 2 cups whole wheat & 1 l/2 cups all-purpose - sifted)
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. ground nutmeg
l/2 tsp. ground cloves
1 cup chopped pecans
Note– To make it even healthier, Bernadette added some flaxseeds (about 1/3 cup)
l/3 cup all-purpose flour
l/4 cup packed brown sugar
l/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 Tbsp. cold butter
Note – For Bernadette's, she doubled the entire topping recipe, but only used about 80 percent of the mixture.
