Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.333 cups granulated sugar
- 0.333 cups brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
- 1 cups pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 0.333 cups plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
- 2 units large eggs
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 0.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until thoroughly combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, Greek yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix—the batter should just come together.
If desired, gently fold in the chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top using the back of a spoon or spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are fine).
Remove from the oven and allow the pumpkin bread to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes.
Carefully transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Enjoy this moist and flavorful pumpkin bread plain or spread with butter or cream cheese for an extra treat!
