This is a superb moist quick bread to make with leftover
cooked pumpkin or bought pumpkin purée.
Ingredients make 1
loaf
200 g plain white flour
½ tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp ground ginger
2 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
250 g pumpkin purée
110 g melted butter
100 g brown sugar
100 g molasses
30 g finely chopped fresh or glace ginger
2 eggs
80 g chopped dates
Method
Preheat oven to 160ºC normal bake. Place flour, salt, soda,
ground ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg in a bowl and combine. Place pumpkin, melted
butter, sugar, molasses, chopped ginger and dates in a mixing bowl and whisk
until smooth. Add eggs and mix evenly. Add flour mixture and stir until
incorporated. Place mixture in a greased bread tin and bake in the oven for
approx. 65 minutes. Allow the bread to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before
removing and place on a wire. Allow cooling for at least 30 minutes before
cutting and serving.
Note: Roast
pumpkins in the oven for approx. 50 minutes, allow cooling before placing in a
food processor and blend if you want to make own purée.
