Step 1

Preheat and prepare pan. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x5” loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray or grease with butter and set aside.

Step 2

Combine dry ingredients. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, cloves, ginger and cinnamon.

Step 3

Combine wet ingredients. In the same mixing bowl whisk together oil, sugars, eggs, squash, and water until combined.

Step 4

Combine wet and dry ingredients. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix together with a spatula until just combined.

Step 5

Bake. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60-65 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool completely in the pan set on a wire cooling rack.

Step 6

Storage: Store the bread, and any leftovers, covered at room temperature for 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
