Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup dark brown sugar, packed
- 0.75 cup unsulfured molasses
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup buttermilk
- 1 medium apple, peeled and diced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined. Add the molasses, pumpkin puree, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Slowly stir in the buttermilk until the batter is smooth. Fold in the diced apple gently with a spatula.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve as is, or enjoy with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat!
