Pumpkin Spice Loaf

Nov 10

I got a bonus piece of Long Island Cheese Pumpkin from my friend Ellie - thanks Ellie! I found this recipe for Pumpkin Spice Bread from Susan Voisin's site, and I thought it would be a perfect way to use my very last piece of pumpkin for the season.

The only changes I made to Susan's recipe were:

Substituted 1 1/2 cup sugar with 1 cup maple syrup.
Substituted 1/2 cup oil with 1/2 spiced apple butter.
Instead of canned pumpkin, used one cup of my baked Long Island Cheese Pumpkin (skin and seeds removed).
Added a pinch of cardamon.
Baked for 10min longer than the recipe called for.
Did not wait for it to cool before eating... because I was too hungry and it smelled too good.. but I'd advise to follow this step.

it was delicious.
