Ingredients

• 1 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1/3 cup water
• 1 (15 ounce) pumpkin puree
• 1 3/4 cups plain flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 1/4 cup pecans, chopped

Recipe

• 1 in a medium size bowl beat eggs and mix with sugar, oil, water and pumpkin.
• 2 in another bowl mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice. combine wet ingredients with dry ingredients only until just blended. do not overmix.
• 3 pour into a greased and floured loaf pan. this bread fits perfectly in an 8.5 x 4.5 loaf pan. bake in a 325 degree oven for 50 to 60 minutes.
• 4 for topping: in a small saucepan mix butter, brown sugar and milk. boil only 2 1/2 minutes while stirring constantly. immediately drizzle on top of loaf. sprinkle with chopped pecans and press pecans lightly into topping.
• 5 wrap and store until next day for serving. this will keep moisture inside. it is ok if bread "sweats" while wrapped.
