Servings 2 Loaves
Author Sonja

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups of whole wheat flour or a blend of whole wheat and white if you are transitioning to healthier living
  • 1 1/2 t baking soda
  • 1/2 t salt
  • 3/4 cup salted butter softened
  • 1 1/2 cups organic brown sugar packed (I use less sometimes-and I have also used organic evaporated cane juice)
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 cups pumpkin
  • 1 t vanilla extract
  • 1 t cinnamon
  • 1/2 t nutmeg
  • 1/2 t cloves
  • 1 cup walnuts chopped

Instructions

  1. (Preheat oven to 325 degrees if using the oven)
  2. Grease 2-9x5 in loaf pans.
  3. Mix dry ingredients.
  4. Mix wet ingredients.
  5. Combine all ingredients.
  6. Pour into prepared loaf pans.
  7. Set in the crock-pot (with no water) on low overnight or all day, about 8 hours, or cook on high for approximately 2 1/2 hours. (Or Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until done in the center [check with a toothpick]). If you are making one bread in the crock-pot, you can refrigerate the dough to "bake" it at a later time or use a waffle iron to make waffles out of the dough.
