Prissy's Pumpkin Bread
This is my favorite Pumpkin Recipe of all time! I make it every year and is a huge crowd pleaser :)
3 1/2 Cups of Flour 4 Eggs beaten
2 tsp. of Baking Soda 2 cups of Pumpkin (fresh or pureed)
1 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 cup water
2 tsp. nutmeg 1 cup of canola oil
2 tsp. of cinnamon 1 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans
2 to 3 cups unrefined sugar (depending on how sweet you like it) 2 9x5 loaf pans
Preheat Oven to 350 degrees. Combine all the dry ingredients Flour, Baking Soda, Salt, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, and Sugar in a lagre bowl until blended. In a seperate bowl mix together Eggs, Pumpkin, Water and Oil. Then slowy add dry ingredients to the wet mixing well and making sure blended smoothly. After mix in the nuts. Pour into 2 9x5 loaf pans (lightly greased and floured) and bake for 1 hour. Test with toothpick in the center will come out clean when done. Let the loaves cool completely onto a rack. This tastes best if you wrap it up and refridgerate it overnight before eating. It let's all the spices and flavor really kick in! **Make sure loaves are completely cool before you refridgerate, otherwise they will sweat in the fridge and become slimy or soggy**
Prissy's Pumpkin Butter
So simple and delicious. Great on toast, ice cream, cheesecake, you name it. This recipe is so easy and great to make for holiday gifts!
1 29 ounce can of pureed pumpkin 2 tsp of ground cinnamon
3/4 cup of apple juice 1 tsp of nutmeg
2 tsp. ground ginger 1 1/2 cups of unrefined sugar (that's my preferance)
1/2 tsp ground cloves
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl mix well and pour into a sauce pan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer for 30 minutes. Stir frequently. Once finished if you are going to use for gifts transfer to steril mason jars. Otherwise keep in steril or tupaware container. Make sure to keep refridgerated until serving.
Prissy's VEGAN Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies
These are another crowd pleaser. No one will know that they are vegan!! They are soft when they come out of the oven but once they cool they become nice and chewy!!! Light pumpkin spice taste but full of flavor!
2 cups of flour 1 2/3 cups unrefined sugar
1 1/3 cups of oatmeal (rolled oats) 2/3 cup canola oil
1 tsp baking soda 2 tblsp molasses
3/4 tsp salt 1 cup of pumpkin pureed (can or fresh) Sometimes I've used 2 cups :)
1 tsp of cinnamon 1 tsp of vanilla
1/2 tsp of nutmeg
OPTIONAL : 1 cup of finely chopped walnuts, 1/2 cup raisins, and 1 tblsp of ground flax seeds
Preheat oven to 350. Have ready 2 lightly greased baking sheets. In a seperate bowl, mix together sugar, oil, molasses, pumpkin and vanilla (and flax seeds if using) until very well combined. Add dry ingredients to wet in 3 batches, folding to combine. Fold in walnuts and raisins.
Drop by tablespoons onto greased cookie sheets. They don't spread very much so they can be placed only an inch apart. Flatten the tops of the cookies with a fork or with your fingers, to press into cookie shape. Bake for 16 minutes at 350. If you are using two sheets of cookies on 2 levels of your oven, rotate the sheets halfway through for even baking. You'll have enough batter for 4 trays.
Remove from oven and get cookies onto a wire rack to cool. These taste best when they've had some time to cool and set. They taste even better the next day!

Prissy's Cream Cheese Icing
This Recipe I mix until I have the desired consistancy I'm looking for. 1 8 ounce package of softened cream cheese into a large bowl. A few tablespoons of milk, a few teaspoons of powdered (confectioners) sugar, and a squirt of lemon juice (some people prefer 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla for sweeter icing, I like a little sour cheesy taste).
