Pumpkin Bread

I went to Kneaders last week for lunch with Mom, Grandma, Jessica and Olivia for Mom's birthday. We tried their pumpkin bread while we were there. It's delicious! I wanted to find a recipe to make it at home. I did find several that claimed to be the Kneader's recipe, but it had chocolate chips in it. The one we tried did have chocolate chips. Also they all had butter or oil in them with the pumpkin puree and I wondered why when you can use pumpkin instead of oil in recipes. So once again- I made up my own! The recipes I looked at had too much sugar, so I reduce it some. Some had baking powder, some didn't - I'm not sure why. I need to investigate that some more. I added it, but the main recipe I looked at didn't have any. Something to ponder for next time.  I think next time I need to add more spices too. I like spicy bread, and it wasn't very strong.

 1 (30 ounce) can pumpkin puree (or what ever is left after your hubby takes out 1/4 cup for a pumpkin pie protein shake)
4 eggs
2/3 cup water
2 cups white sugar
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 TBSP pumpkin pie spice (I actually had it in the cupboard! or use a combo of ginger, cloves and nutmeg instead)

Mix the eggs, pumpkin and water until blended. Add the sugar, baking powder, salt, soda and spices. Stir in the flour until combined. Pour into greased and floured bread pans and bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 min for mini loaves and 55-60 min for regular loaves. Mine made 1 big loaf and 4 small loaves. The calories are a little hard to figure.... If it makes 30 servings they are about 120 calories each. or 100 calories for 36 servings.
