• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
• 2 large Eggs

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.

3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.

5. Fold in the chopped apple and nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

8. Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

9. Slice and serve plain or with a spread of butter for an extra indulgent treat. Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
