Pumpkin Bread

This bread was super easy and turned out great. The raisins and walnuts are optional but the bread is sort of blah without them.

3 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt

1 can 16 oz pure pumpkin puree
1 cup vegetable oil
3 cups sugar
3 eggs

1/2 cup chopped walnuts, 1/4 cup green pumpkin seeds for decoration

Mix sugar with vegetable oil in a large bowl. Mix in pumpkin puree and eggs. In a separate bowl, sift together all dry ingredients. Add dry mix into wet in two batches. Fold in walnuts.

Set oven to 350 F

Grease two loaf pans and divide batter evenly between pans. Bake for about 1 hour; in the last 20 minutes, sprinkle pumpkin seeds on top.
