Pumpkin Muffins

This is my Mom's Pumpkin Bread recipe, I just put the batter into muffin cups instead of loaf pans. :) This will make either 2 loaves of bread, or about 28 muffins.

Pumpkin Muffins

3 cups sugar
1 cup oil
4 eggs
1 can pumpkin
2t baking soda
2t salt
1t baking powder
1t nutmeg
1t allspice
1t cinnamon
1/2t ground cloves
2/3 cup water
3-1/2 cups flour

Preheat oven to 350.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the sugar and oil until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, blending well between each one. Add the pumpkin and mix until blended. Sprinkle in the soda, salt, powder, nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon, and cloves and mix until blended. Alternately blend in the flour and water.

Put the batter in muffin cups in a muffin pan (I use my ice cream scooper...it gives you the perfect sized muffin every time!). Bake for about 20 minutes...check with a toothpick at 16 minutes and remove when the toothpick comes out clean! (If you're making bread instead of muffins, they'll bake for about an hour...start checking with a toothpick at 45 minutes)
