Pumpkin Gingerbread

Ingredients:

1 1/2 C flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp ginger
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 C pumpkin puree
1/2 C butter, melted
1/2 C dark brown sugar
1/2 C molasses
2 eggs, beaten
3 TBS water

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350. Prepare a loaf pan with non-stick spray or butter.

In a medium bowl, vigorously whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

In another bowl, use a wooden spoon to mix together the pumpkin, melted butter, sugar, molasses, eggs, and water.

Combine the wet and dry ingredients. Stir only until incorporated.

Place batter into loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until comes clean. Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then gently run a knife around the edge of the loaf and invert the loaf to remove it from the pan. Let it cool on a rack for 30 minutes or longer.
