A straightforward recipe for moist pumpkin bread.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
- In a large bowl, mix the granulated sugar and brown sugar.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time. Stir in the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until just combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just blended. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, substitute melted butter for the vegetable oil.
- You can add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter before baking.
