Description
A comforting and flavorful Pumpkin Spice Bread infused with warm spices, perfect for fall gatherings.
Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well blended.
- Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices in another bowl. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture.
- Stir until just combined—resist the urge to overmix! The batter should be thick but smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
- Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For extra texture, stir in chocolate chips, nuts, or raisins. Adjust spices to your taste, and consider dairy-free options.
