Breakfast on the Run - Holiday Help . . .

This is a great loaf to have on hand for quick breakfasts on busy, holiday mornings. You can butter it or not and enjoy it with tea, coffee, or hot cocoa. Once the smell drifts from the kitchen, you might not have any left come morning. You can also bake this batter in muffin tins for an even more portable snack.

2 eggs
1/4 cup vegetable oil
½ cup molasses
½ cup brown sugar
1/4 cup milk
2/3 cup pumpkin
2 cups flour

½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
