Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups brown sugar, packed
- 2 pieces eggs
- 1 cups pure pumpkin puree
- 0.25 cups milk (any type)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups chopped walnuts or pecans
- 0.5 cups rolled oats
- 0.5 cups optional chocolate chips or dried cranberries
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, pumpkin puree, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, gently folding them together using a spatula until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped nuts, rolled oats, and optional mix-ins like chocolate chips or dried cranberries for added flavor and texture.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and evenly spread the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Slice, serve, and enjoy the hearty, autumn-spiced pumpkin bread!
