Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Canned pumpkin puree
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, combine the canned pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
Fold in the chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
