Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional)
- 0.5 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt until evenly combined.
In another bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Gradually stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If desired, fold in the chopped nuts and/or chocolate chips 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 60–70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve your Yummy Yummy Pumpkin Bread plain or with a spread of butter. Enjoy!
