Drunk Pumpkin

How wasted is your pumpkin?

Spice it up this Halloween and leave the candy for the kids, here's my vote for this years Halloween treat. Drink with... ummm... beer?!?!
Pumpkin Ale Bread
3 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 salt
1/2 cup sugar

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp ground ginger

1/8 tsp ground cloves

3 tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
12-oz bottle Pumpkin Ale

Preheat oven to 350F and lightly grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.

In a very large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Make a well in the center and add in vegetable oil, pumpking puree, and beer. Stir just until no streaks of flour remain, and pour batter into prepared pan.

Bake for 55-60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top springs back when lightly pressed. Loaf should be light or medium gold.Turn out of the pan and allow the bread to cool on a wire rack before slicing.When cool, store in an airtight container.
