Pumpkin Bread -
Ingredients:
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice mixture*
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups fresh pumpkin mashed up (canned will do)
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Prep the baking pans with: butter and flour, nonstick cooking spray, paper cupcake liners or parchment paper.
- Mix or sift the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together.
- In a separate bowl, mix the sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Combine both mixtures and fold in the mashed pumpkin. Once the ingredients are all incorporated, pour into a 9 by 5 by 3-inch loaf pan or muffin tins.
- Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes for a loaf, 30-35 minutes for muffins. A knife or toothpick inserted into the middle of the loaf should come out clean.
- Cool for 15 minutes and turn out onto a cooling rack.
*My spice mixture includes cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, candied ginger and orange zest |

Trent, you are quickly becoming my favorite renaissance man!  Hey, how do you think this would work if a person used all whole wheat flour in place of the white flour...or might half white/half ww work better? I'm just not a fan of white flour if I can avoid it.
Otherwise this sounds really awesome! I LOVE pumpkin bread. BTW, got any banana bread recipes? I have about 6 overripe nanners in the freezer that I need to use up.

I would half and half the flours if you were to do it. You can also sub out half the oil with the same volume of apple sauce.
Banana bread? I don't usually follow a recipe, but what I do looks about like this -
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 stick butter, melted
1/3 cup white sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1-2 cups bananas, overripe, mushy nasty in glop and pieces
Optional - (any or all at once)
1/4 cup yogurt
1/2 cup nuts or pine nuts
1 cup chocolate chips (extra dark of course)
1/4 cup jam or marmalade
Bake at 350f until chestnut brown and knife comes out clean. |

My mom is quite the baker (and the chef) -- I, alas, am not 
But: she dropped off these AMAZING cinnamon, brown sugar muffins today ... she told me she made them with very little sugar and olive oil (!) instead of butter or vegtable oil or anything else (and only 1/3 cup for the whole batch). They are delicious! ... if anyone would like the recipe, let me know, and I'll ask her to email it. |

Yeah, I often use olive oil, especially in pie crust. It gives things a certain je ne sais quoi  |

Just don't use the olive oil for sauteing.
I will say, though, that I am amused about the differentiation between olive oil, and vegetable oil. Olives are vegetables........
I know the difference, but it struck me as funny. |

Olives are actually fruits.

So are tomatoes. Depends on context.
