Baking Day!

My kiddos and I decided to get in the Christmas Spirit today. Besides decorating out tree we baked up some Pumpkin Gingerbread! This was our first time trying out this recipes and it is definitely a keeper. It was super moist and oh so tasty! The kids and I could not stop snacking on it! We also had a bunch of brown bananas that needed to be used quickly... so we decided to use my favorite Banana Bread recipe and make muffins out of it! Muffins are very easy to freeze and come in handy for a quick breakfast or snack on the run!

Pumpkin Gingerbread

3 cups sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
2/3 cup water
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree

1 teaspoon ground cloves
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

DIRECTIONS

In a large mixing, combine sugar, oil and eggs; beat until smooth. Add water and beat until well blended. Stir in pumpkin, ginger, allspice and cinnamon.
In medium bowl, combine flour, soda, salt, and baking powder. Add dry ingredients to pumpkin mixture and blend just until all ingredients are mixed. Divide batter between prepared pans.
