Pumpkin Pie Bread

I got this recipe from Allrecipies but made a few changes to it.

yields at least two loaves and a muffin tin.

2 cans of Libby's pumpkin puree
1 1/4 cups of vegetable oil
3 cups of sugar
6 eggs
4 3/4 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cloves
1 1/2 teaspoons nutmeg
heaping 1/2 teaspoon of ginger

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour baking dishes (loaf pans and muffin tins although I'd use paper liners - Jeff looks forward to eating them. I know, yuck!)

In a large bowl beat eggs until frothy, mix in pumpkin, sugar and oil.

In a seprate bowl combine flour, baking soda and baking powder, cinnamon, salt, cloves, nutmeg, and ginger. Then slowly add to pumpkin mixture and mix until all is combined.

Lick beater promptly.

Divide into prepared containers. Cook loaf pans for 45 min to 1 hour. Muffin tin I think about 25? I didn't time it, I just checked it when it smelled good and did the "clean knife" test.

Warning: "This ain't no health cake dish", but it is soooo good. :)And it tastes good warm or cold.
