    What I need is a REALLY good recipe for pumpkin bread and banana bread. You know something moist and that melts in your mouth. I use to have one that had vanilla pudding in the recipe I loved but I can’t find it? :0(

    Can anyone help me? I want to make some little ones for Christmas gifts to those who we’ll see around the holidays. Misty

    OK.  My grandmother’s recipe is nearly famous; she was a Pumpkin Queen.  Or something.  LOL  Her family was German-speaking Church of the Brethren and they all made this.  But it is NOT healthy!

    Mix in a large mixing bowl:  2 cups sugar; 1 cup vegetable oil or shortening; 4 eggs.  Mix in 1 can pumpkin puree and 2/3 cup of water.  Then mix together:  3 1/3 cups flour, 1 t cinnamon, 1 t nutmeg, 2 t baking soda.  Mix into the wet ingredients.  Pour into two greased 9×5 bread pans and bake at 350 for about 1 hour.  My grandma always baked this in round coffee cans, though.  I like to take it out when it’s a bit soft on top but my mom bakes it until the crack on the top is dry.  This is rich and decadent.  You can make it worse by adding chocolate chips.  I have MANY pumpkin bread recipes, but none of them are quite this good.  We only do this one at Christmas and Thanksgiving since it is sooo rich.  But my Grandma Zella baked it ALL the time.

    http://allrecipes.com/recipe/downeast-maine-pumpkin-bread/detail.aspx   This one is by far my favorite, either plain, with nuts, or with mini chocolate chips.  The only thing I change is to do 1/2 brown sugar, 1/2 white sugar.

    I love these 

    Pumpkin Bread – http://thefauxmartha.com/2011/09/03/mini-pumpkin-loaves/ – I just make in regular loaf pans and bake longer.

    Banana Muffins (can be bread, too) – http://thefauxmartha.com/2011/09/19/banana-muffins/

    Each calls for 1/2 of the flour to be whole wheat. I’m going to fudge that up a wee bit next time and see what happens.

    Oh and try these, too…

    Pumpkin Whoopee Pies (these are heavenly!!!!!Laughing) – http://thefauxmartha.com/2010/11/16/pumpkin-whoopie-pies/

    Can you tell that I’m in love with the faux martha?
