1

Cut a section off the pumpkin and scrape out the seeds and innards using a mason jar lid, setting the seeds aside for roasting.

2

Slice the pumpkin into narrow slices and peel off the skin with a vegetable peeler.

3

Grate 1.5 heaping cups of fresh pumpkin using a box grater.

4

In a bowl, combine 1.5 cups of shredded pumpkin, 1/3 cup of light olive oil, 1/4 cup of water, and 1 room temperature egg. Stir to moisten the pumpkin and mix the egg in.

5

In another bowl, mix together 2/3 cup of sugar, 1.25 cups of flour, 3/4 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

6

Add the spice mixture of 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves to the dry ingredients and mix well.

7

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet pumpkin mixture, about a quarter at a time, mixing until just combined without overmixing.

8

Grease a 9.5 by 4.5 inch glass baking pan with cooking spray and pour the batter into the pan.

9

Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 40 to 50 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick after 40 minutes.

10

After 47 minutes, check the loaf with a toothpick; if it comes out clean, remove it from the oven and let it cool before slicing.
