Ingredients

15 oz pumpkin puree ($1.99)

2 cups sugar* ($0.78)

2/3 cup oil ($0.53)

4 eggs ($1.10)

1 tsp vanilla ($0.72)

2/3 cup water ($0.00)

4 cups sifted flour ($0.49)

1/2 tsp baking powder ($0.08)

1 tsp baking soda ($0.02)

2 tsp salt ($0.08)

2 tsp pumpkin pie spice ($0.10)

1 tsp butter, for greasing ($0.05)

Instructions

1 Place a rack in the middle of your oven and preheat it to 350°F. Grease 2 loaf pans with butter. In a medium bowl, mix the sifted flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin spice.

2 In a large bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, sugar, oil, eggs, vanilla, and water.

3 Add the dry ingredients on top of the wet ingredients.

4 Mix the dry ingredients lightly into the wet, just until a batter forms. Small lumps are ok.

5 Split the batter between the two greased loaf pans and smooth the top.

6 Bake for about an hour, or until a knife inserted into the crack in the loaf's top crust hits the bottom of the pan and comes out clean.
