5. Pumpkin bread
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease an 8 “or 9” loaf pan.
In a large bowl, mix 1/2 cup honey, 1 cup pumpkin puree, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 2 eggs.
Stir in 1 1/2 cup maida, 1/2 cup mixed nuts, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Pour into a lightly greased loaf pan and bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until the toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
After cooling, loosen the sides of the loaf from the pan and remove the bread from the pan.
Let cool completely before cutting.
