5. Once all wet ingredients are mixed thoroughly, add the flour and baking powder. Mix through until combined.
6. Transfer batter into the loaf pan.
7. Bake at 180′c for 40-45 minutes, until golden on top.

Don’t cut the pumpkin up too small when boiling. If you do it will get water locked and make the bread batter too thin.

Make sure you measure the pumpkin correctly otherwise you’re bread won’t rise.
