2cupspureed pumpkin
½cupbrown sugar

1teaspoonvanilla

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350. Line a 8x4 loaf pan with parchment
In a large mixing bowl sift together the dry ingredients - flour, baking powder, baking soda and pumpkin pie spice.
In a medium sized bowl blend together pumpkin, brown sugar, canola oil and vanila. Give this a good stir so that sugar disolves.
Gently fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Fold until just blended. Add walnuts and fold a couple of times to evenly distribute the walnuts.
Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Smooth out so it is evenly distributed in the pan. This is a thick batter.Mix 1 tablespoon white sugar and 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice together in a small bowl and sprinkle over surface of bread. Place bread in a 350 oven for 50-55 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow bread to cool for 20 minutes --- if you can wait that long-- before removing from pan and slicing.
