Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Light brown sugar
- 1 cup Canned pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easier removal of the bread later.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, ground cloves, and salt. Set aside.
In another large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, canned pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not over-mix, as this can make the loaf dense.
If using, fold in the chopped pecans or walnuts for added texture and flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Remove the loaf 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 and serving.
