Ingredients:
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
4 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
2/3 cup water
3 cups sugar
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
optional: a few cups of milk chocolate chips, nuts, raisins, ect. if desired



Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour three 7x3 inch loaf pans (or line cupcake pans).
2. In a large bowl, mix together pumpkin puree, eggs, oil, water and sugar together. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger. Stir the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture until ust blended. Add additional ingredients now. *I throw in a ton of milk chocolate chips here. The more chocolate the better, I always say!* Pour mixture into pans or cupcake liners.
3. Bake loaves for 50 minutes or muffins for about 20-25 mins? I don't time the muffins when I make them I just watch to see when they turn a little brown on top. I like the outside a little crispy!*
4. After they cool you could put a cream cheese frosting or powdered sugar on top, too!



Enjoy your pumpkin treats and have a Happy Thanksgiving!!
