1 2/3
cups sugar
2/3
cup vegetable oil
2
teaspoons vanilla
4
eggs
1
can (15 ounces) pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
3
cups Gold Medal® all-purpose flour
2
teaspoons baking soda
1
teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4
teaspoon salt
1/2
teaspoon baking powder
1/2
teaspoon ground cloves
1
cup chopped dates
  • 1 Heat oven to 350ºF. Grease bottoms only of 11 miniature loaf pans, 4 1/2x2 3/4x1 1/4 inches.
  • 2 Mix sugar, oil, vanilla, eggs and pumpkin in large bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients except dates. Stir in dates. Divide batter among pans (about 1/2 cup each).
  • 3 Bake 25 to 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Loosen sides of loaves from pans; remove from pans and place top side up on wire rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour, before slicing. Wrap tightly and store at room temperature up to 4 days, or refrigerate up 10 days.

Expert Tips

For a crunchy praline topping, mix 1/3 cup packed brown sugar, 1/3 cup chopped pecans and 1 tablespoon softened butter or margarine until crumbly, and sprinkle over the batter before baking.

To make regular-sized loaves, grease just the bottoms of 2 loaf pans, 9x5x3 or 8 1/2x4 1/2x2 1/2 inches. Bake 50 to 60 minutes.

The best pumpkin bread to make is the Betty Crocker Pumpkin Bread Mix. Follow the directions and after mixing, add chocolate chips according to your liking. I bake them in the small mini loaf pans and take them out after about 20 minutes or less. Check and see if fully baked after 15 minutes as they will be too dry if much longer. These are an instant hit and everyone loves them. I buy pretty little baking ceramic loaf pans at Michaels Craft Stores and use them to bake in and give away as gifts at Christmas...... more raves than you can imagine.

I baked this recipe in my mini Bundt tins. One half of the recipe will make 12 tins. I included them in my gift baskets at Christmas. Everyone loved them.

I have made this several times now and even sold the mini loafs at a Holiday Bazaar. I have nothing but great compliments. The only thing I do different is I use a whole cup of batter instead of a half. I increase the cook time 10 min. Im a cinn lover to, so I double that. You will love this. Its a must for the holidays.
