Crockpot Pumpkin Bread

 I found this awesome recipe on Pinterest and made it today.  It came out amazing, so I figured I better share it!

 

 Let me just say you will NEVER have a more moist bread in your LIFE.

The process of baking in a crockpot is pretty easy.  Once you have the batter made for your bread, pour around two cups of water into your crockpot.  We are essentially baking the bread in a water bath.  Now place the bread into the crockpot, but make sure the water doesn’t go into the bread pan.  Next is a very important step, if you don’t do this the bread won’t bake very well.  Make sure to place paper towels inside the crockpot, securing them with the crockpot top.  This will trap the condensation the crockpot creates, and allow your bread to bake.  Try not to open your crockpot until the appropriate time, and just use a knife to see if it is done.

This is an amazingly simple pumpkin bread recipe that will leave you wanting MORE. Cooking the bread in the crockpot instead of the oven is a great way to not warm your home on a hot day! A side effect of slow cooking the bread, it’s incredibly moist!

Serves: 4-6

 

 

Ingredients:

• ½ cup of oil
• ½ cup of sugar
• ½ cup of packed brown sugar
• 2 eggs (beaten)
• 1 15oz can of pumpkin
• 1½ cup of flour (sifted)
• ¼ tsp. of salt
• ½ tsp. of cinnamon
• ½ tsp. of nutmeg
• 1 tsp. of baking soda

Instructions:

1. Blend the oil and both of the sugars into a large bowl.
2. Then, stir in the beaten eggs and canned pumpkin. Add the remaining dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
3. Pour the batter into a greased or oiled bread pan. (I used a canola oil spray that worked just fine.
4. Now add two cups of water to your crockpot and place the pan into a crock pot.
5. Cover the top of the crockpot with eight-ten paper towels. This is to trap condensation and keep the bread from becoming mushy.
6. Place the crock pot lid on top of the crockpot (I tried to make sure the paper towels were trapped around the lid so they didn’t slip) and bake on high 2½ to 3 hours.
