Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup pure pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Set the dry ingredients aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Add the eggs to the sugar mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
Stir in the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk in two additions. Start and end with the dry mixture, mixing gently between each addition. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Remove the loaf pan from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for 10–15 minutes.
Carefully remove the pumpkin bread from the pan and let it cool completely before slicing and serving.
