'Tis the season for homemade pumpkin spice lattes and copycat Starbucks pumpkin bread baked right in your own kitchen.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the pumpkin, eggs, canola oil, water, sugar, honey and vanilla extract until well blended. In another large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger. Gradually beat the flour mixture into the pumpkin mixture just until combined.
Evenly divide the batter between two greased 9x5-inch loaf pans. Sprinkle the tops with the pumpkin seeds.
Bake the pumpkin loaves until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 60 to 70 minutes. Let the loaves cool in their pans for 10 minutes, then remove them from the pans and onto a wire rack to cool at room temperature.
