Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Stir to combine and set aside.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.
If using optional nuts or chocolate chips, fold them into the batter at this stage.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes. Then carefully transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Serve plain, or with butter, cream cheese, or a dusting of powdered sugar for an extra treat.
