Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 0.25 cup orange juice
- 1.5 cups fresh cranberries, roughly chopped
- 0.5 cups chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
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 flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, and orange juice until smooth.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the chopped cranberries and, if using, the chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. This bread also freezes well for longer storage.
