Moist Butternut Squash Bread Recipe

Ingredients

• 2.67 cups white sugar
• 0.67 cup shortening
• 2 cups pureed cooked butternut squash
• 4 eggs eggs
• 0.67 cup water
• 3.33 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground cloves
• 0.67 cup chopped walnuts
• 0.67 cup raisins

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans for easy release.
2. Cream together the sugar and butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Then, mix in the butternut squash puree, eggs, and water until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and ground cloves. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chopped walnuts and raisins. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 1 hour. Let the loaves cool in the pans for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
