Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cups canned pumpkin puree
- 3 quarters granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups brown sugar (packed)
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups dried cranberries
- 0.75 cups chopped walnuts or pecans
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 all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
In another large mixing bowl, combine the canned pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil. Stir until smooth.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Carefully fold in the dried cranberries and chopped walnuts (or pecans) using a spatula.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
