Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 1 cup Canned pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Fresh or dried cranberries
- 0.75 cup Chopped walnuts
- 0.25 cup Milk
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger until well combined.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the cranberries and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve as is or with a spread of butter or cream cheese. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
