Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt. This is your dry mixture.
  3. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the dry mixture and whisk to combine well.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few streaks of flour are acceptable.
  6. If using, gently fold in the chopped nuts.
  7. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan.
  8. Bake for 50 to 65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • For an extra moist texture, use full-fat canned pumpkin puree.
  • You can substitute the oil with an equal amount of melted butter for a richer flavor.
  • This bread tastes even better the next day after the spices have fully developed.
  • If you prefer a sweeter top, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of coarse sugar over the batter before baking.
