Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoons baking soda
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cups canned pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 0.25 cups milk
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups chopped nuts (optional, such as pecans or walnuts)
- 0.5 cups mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
If using, fold in the chopped nuts and/or mini chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve! Enjoy your Halloween or Fall Pumpkin Bread plain, or spread with butter, cream cheese, or maple syrup for an extra treat.
