Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup Whole milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground ginger, salt, baking soda, and baking powder until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to stir until just combined; avoid overmixing.
Gently fold the dried cranberries and optional chopped nuts into the batter.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and use a spatula to smooth the top.
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 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 the Pumpkin Cranberry Bread Loaf plain or with a pat of butter, and enjoy!
