Pumpkin Guts Bread

I told you not to throw away the guts of your pumpkin away after scooping them out to carve your pumpkin and this is the reason why.

This recipe is absolutely delicious (and i dont even like pumpkin), its kind of like a spiced carrot cake crossed with a banana bread and its so moist.

Ingredients

3.5 cups of plain flour
3 cups sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
1tsp ground ginger
1tsp mixed spice
1.5 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
2 cups of pumpkin guts
1/2 cup of water
1 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
1 cup chopped walnuts
large mixing bowl, measuring jug, wooden spoon, measuring cups and spoons, 2 loaf tins




  • measure out flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and spices and mix together in the large mixing bowl
  • measure out water, oil and eggs and mix together in the measuring jug

  • mix the wet and the dry ingredients together
  • using a pair of scissors chop up your pumpkin guts (just snip through the pump in a bowl)
  • mix the chopped up pumpkin guts into the mixture
  • add the chopped nuts and mix well


  • line and flour your loaf tins

  • divide mixture between the 2 tins

  • place on he middle shelf of a pre heated oven at 200 degrees
  • bake for 1 hour then check (put a skewer into the middle of the loaf if it comes out clean they are done)
  • if not quite done return to over and check every 10 mins (mine took 1hr 20 mins)
  • turn out of tins and allow to cool. 

From 1 large pumpkin i had enough guts to make 4 loafs so will be sharing them with my mum, gran and mother in law.

Hope you enjoy this easy recipe and it stops all that pumpkin going to waste xx
