Old Fashioned Pumpkin Nut Loaf Bread


I was trying to find a recipe for the extra cans of evaporated milk from Christmas fudge-making and the after holiday sale-priced pumpkin in the pantry. This recipe from the Nestle Very Best Baking website used both deliciously!


I used chopped pecans on the top and made three small loaves to gift, eat and freeze. The smaller sizes only took 40-43 minutes to bake instead of over an hour for a 9 x 5 loaf pan. I like it because it calls for only 1 tablespoon of oil (I used canola). You can also cut the fat further by using the fat free or 2% evaporated milk versions. Verdict: Very yummy! Pumpkin-y, but not too sweet. I'll definitely make this again, especially for the Holidays 2009.
