Crockpot Pumpkin Bread Recipe

This is an amazingly simple pumpkin bread recipe that will leave you wanting MORE. I cook the bread in the crockpot instead of the oven so I don't warm my home on a hot day! A side effect of slow cooking the bread is it's incredibly moist!

Serves: 4-6

Ingredients
½ cup of oil
½ cup of sugar
½ cup of packed brown sugar
2 eggs (beaten)
1 15oz can of pumpkin
1½ cup of flour (sifted)
¼ tsp. of salt
½ tsp. of cinnamon
½ tsp. of nutmeg
1 tsp. of baking soda

Instructions
1. Blend the oil and both of the sugars into a large bowl.
2. Stir in the beaten eggs and canned pumpkin. Add the remaining dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
3. Pour the batter into a greased or oiled bread pan. (I used a canola oil spray that worked just fine.)
4. Add two cups of water to your crockpot and place the pan into a crock pot.
5. Cover the top of the crockpot with eight-ten paper towels. This is to trap condensation and keep the bread from becoming mushy.
6. Place the crockpot lid on top of the crockpot (I tried to make sure the paper towels were trapped around the lid so they didn't slip) and bake on high 2½ to 3 hours.
