Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.25 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons pumpkin seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and pumpkin puree. Mix until smooth.
Add the vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract to the pumpkin mixture. Stir until completely blended.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until no streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
If desired, sprinkle pumpkin seeds evenly over the top of the batter for garnish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
