From: HungryMonster.com
Serves: 4
 

Ingredients:

1/3 cup Vegetable oil
1 cup Fresh pumpkin puree OR 8 oz. -- canned pumpkin
2 large eggs
3/4 cup Brown sugar -- packed
1/8 teaspoon Nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon Cloves
1 1/2 teaspoons Cinnamon
3/4 cup Oats
1 1/4 cups Self-rising flour
1/4 cup Ground walnuts
 

Preparation:

This recipe uses self-rising flour. If substituting all-purpose flour, add 1 1/2 tsp. of baking powder and 1/2 tsp. salt for each cup of flour used. If you are using a National or Panasonic machine, all ingredients are mixed together prior to placing in the pan for baking. Any ingredients listed following asterisks are to be mixed in last and only until blended. As you must tell the machine how long to bake the quick breads/cakes, the times are given in each recipe..... If using the Zojirushi, place the ingredients in the machine in the order given. Any ingredients listed following asterisks are to be added at the "Beep". As the machine is preprogrammed to turn off when the cakes/quick breads are completely baked, you may ignore the baking times.... BAKE for 40 minutes..... To prepare fresh pumpkin puree, simply cut pumpkin in half, removing stem, pulp and seeds. Cut pumpkin in to four to five inch squares and place in boiling waater until soft and fork pierces easily. Drain off water and puree pumpkin in food processor or blender. Pumpkin is easily placed in ziploc bags, premeasured into one or two cups, and keep frozen until required for baking.... Another way to make pumpkin puree is to take the pumpkin and cut it in half, remove stem, pulp and seeds also. Then place it in the microwave and cook on high for 10 minutes. Take it out with oven mits - as it will be very HOT. Scrape out the soft flesh. If it is still to hard, place back in microwave for another 5 to 10 minutes. Keep this up until all of the flesh has been scraped out. Place the flesh in a blender and puree. Will not heat up the house as bad this way..…
