Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
- 1.5 cups pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 0.5 cups chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and ground cloves until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, eggs, vegetable oil, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and uniform.
Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula. Mix just until combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the bread tender.
If using optional ingredients such as walnuts, pecans, or chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter at this stage.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with the spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Remove the pumpkin 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 warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your presidential-style pumpkin bread with a cup of coffee or tea!
