This recipe may just be the holy grail of pumpkin breads. Nicely spiced, moist beyond reason from the pumpkin + applesauce combination, and a nice crisp to the top. Easy, too!
Slightly modified from smitten kitchen (duh) by gourmette*nyc:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup canned solid-packed pumpkin puree
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 large eggs
1 cup plus 1 tbs sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon (but I tend to be a bit heavy-handed here)
1/4 tsp nutmeg
a pinch or two of all spice
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour one 9 inch loaf pan or two six inch loaf pans.
In a medium bowl, mix together the flour and baking powder. In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin, applesauce, eggs, 1 cup sugar, baking soda, salt, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, nutmeg, and all spice until smooth. Whisk in flour mixture until just combined. Then, add the raisins and whisk to combine.
Stir together remaining 1 tsp cinnamon and remaining 1 tablespoon sugar in a small bowl.
Pour batter into one large loaf pan or two smaller loaf pans, sprinkle the top with the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Bake until puffed and golden brown and wooden pick or skewer inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes.
Cool in pan on a rack for 5 minutes, then transfer to rack and cool.
