Mrs. Maylee’s Pumpkin Bread – SJ Maylee

After I got married, my MIL introduced me to pumpkin bread. Oh my, it’s so good, a perfect side to my favorite cup of coffee and the story I’m writing. I make double batches because it freezes so well. For this, I use real pumpkin.

Mrs. Maylee’s Pumpkin Bread

Makes two loaves

Sift together:

3 cups all-purpose flour

¾ teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon

1 teaspoon nutmeg

1 teaspoon cloves

¼ teaspoon allspice

¼ teaspoon ginger

In a bigger bowl beat together:

16 oz. can pumpkin

¾ cup canola oil

2 ¼ cups granulated sugar

4 eggs

Add the dry ingredients to the wet, stirring until well blended. Spray non-stick loaf pans with cooking spray and fill with the batter. Bake for about 50 minutes at 350 degrees F or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of the loaf.

Jane thinks she’s ready to take the risks her business and love life desperately need. Rob’s still punishing himself for a broken relationship that wasn’t meant to last. When the pair let an opportunity pass them by, fate steps in and throws them back together.

An evening of pitch black unrestrained passion at Club Blind opens her eyes to life’s possibilities. Now, if they don’t fight past their personal demons, they might never truly discover what they need most. If they can open their hearts, it might lead them directly to each other where they can discover their truth. If not, they may forever stay in the blind.
