Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Grease and flour each of your three pans. Alternatively, to prevent sticking, you can line each pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together all wet ingredients; olive oil, eggs, water, and canned pumpkin.
Sift flour. Then combine sifted flour, salt, nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon, baking soda, sugar, and white raisins and walnuts if using. Mix well.
Add the dry ingredients to the large bowl of wet ingredients and mix well. Place equal amounts of batter in your 3 prepared pans. If desired, sprinkle the top of loaves with roasted pumpkin seeds and old-fashioned oats. It gives the bread a wonderful texture!
Bake loaves at 350 degrees F (177 degrees C) for about 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Take out of the oven and cool on a wire rack. After 10-30 minutes, take the bread out of the pans and let it fully cool.

Notes

Make sure you use pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling for the recipe.
Our favorite is to use light extra virgin olive oil, which gives the bread a wonderful flavor.
You can substitute melted butter for the olive oil in the recipe.
To accommodate different likes, we make one loaf with golden raisins and not the other two. Simple use only ⅓ the amount of raisins if you'd like to do the same.
How do you know when your pumpkin loaf is done? Your Pumpkin Bread is done when a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
