This delightful pumpkin bread combines warm spices and natural sweetness for a comforting treat perfect for fall.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup crumb topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a loaf pan by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and spices.
- In another bowl, combine the wet ingredients: pumpkin puree, eggs, and oil. Mix until well combined.
- Gradually incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a light texture.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- For the crumb topping, mix together the flour, sugar, and softened butter until crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Serve warm with butter, powdered sugar, or maple syrup for added flavor. This bread can also be frozen for up to three months.
