Cricket Pumpkin Bread

Tis' the season for pumpkin... everything! Even though I just posted a pumpkin pancake recipe, I couldn't help myself but post another pumpkin recipe. Let's face it, we're aren't tired of pumpkin yet!

Ingredients:

• 1 1⁄2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1⁄2 cup olive oil
• 2 eggs, Beaten
• 1⁄4 cup water
• 1 tbs pumpkin spice
• 1⁄2 cup almonds (optional)
• 3 tbs Cricket Power Powder
  

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Sift together flour, salt, sugar, cricket powder and baking soda.
3. In a separate bowl combined pumpkin, oil, eggs, water, and pumpkin spice.
4. Then, combined with dry ingredients but, do not mix too thoroughly. Stir in almonds.
5. Pour into a well-buttered 9x5x3 inch loaf pan. Bake 50-60 minutes until a thin skewer poked in the very center of the loaf comes out clean.
