Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 3/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 3/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350˚F. Combine dry ingredients. Set aside.
2. In large mixing bowl combine remaining ingredients until uniform in color. Add dry ingredients mixture to wet, mixing until just combined. Do not over mix.
3. Pour into a greased and lined 9”x5” loaf pan. Bake for 60-70 minutes, covering with foil halfway through baking. Test by using a knife or toothpick. When it comes out moist, but with no batter on it then it’s ready.
