Instructions
Pumpkin Bread
- Preheat oven to 350F.

- Once you have a nice smooth batter add in shelled pumpkin seeds, I prefer salted but you can use unsalted.
- Pour mixture into 8 x 10 parchment paper lined baking dish or into 16 cupcake liners.
- Bake for approx 30 minutes or until you can insert a toothpick in the center that comes out clean. If you are making cupcakes then you may have to adjust your baking time to less. Check at 20 minutes and every 5 minutes after that.
