Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans
- Non-stick cooking spray or butter (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray or butter and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Whisk until smooth.
Add the pumpkin puree, eggs, and vanilla extract to the wet mixture. Whisk until well combined.
Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
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 from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve slices of the bread plain, or with butter or cream cheese, and enjoy!
