Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup milk
- 0.75 cup pecans, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Alternatively, you can line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until evenly combined.
In another medium bowl, beat together the eggs, pumpkin puree, melted butter, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula. Mix until just combined—do not overmix, as this can make the bread dense.
Gently fold in the chopped pecans, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly with the spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center 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 plain, with butter, or even with a drizzle of maple glaze for extra sweetness. Enjoy!
