Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Packed brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking soda
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cloves
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 15 ounces Canned pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cups Canola oil
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cups Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 1 cups Raisins or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9x5-inch loaf pans or line them with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, canola oil, applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If using, fold in the chopped nuts, raisins, or chocolate chips.
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared loaf pans, smoothing the tops with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the loaves from the oven and let them cool in the pans for about 10 minutes.
Carefully transfer the loaves to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your delicious pumpkin loaves with a cup of coffee or tea!
