We live in a rural area of Long Island where there's plenty of fresh air and friendly country folks. This recipe has traveled from one end of the island to the other.
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup quick-cooking oats
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon aniseed
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- glaze:
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- 2 to 3 teaspoons 2% milk
- 1/4 teaspoon anise extract
- 1/4 teaspoon butter flavoring, optional
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°. In a bowl, combine the eggs, brown sugar, pumpkin, oil and vanilla. In another bowl, combine the flour, oats, baking powder, aniseed and salt; add to pumpkin mixture and stir until well blended. Pour into a greased and floured 8x4-in. loaf pan.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 45-50 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over bread.
