I love this recipe, it fills your home with a pumpkin aroma.  I make it year round!  The ingredients below make 2 loaf pans; so I usually divide it in half because we don’t eat that much of it.  It freezes well so you can definitely freeze the remainder!  One time I made it I did not have two eggs, so I used one egg + a heaping tablespoon of applesauce and it came out fine!  So next time I may just substitute applesauce for the two eggs!  For me, the one loaf cooked 90 minutes just like they said!

• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
