Description
A warm and fragrant pumpkin bread, rich with fall spices and natural sweetness, perfect for breakfast or dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices in a medium bowl until fully combined.
- Mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and oil in a separate large bowl until well integrated. Add the eggs, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined—be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
To enhance flavor, you can lightly toast spices in a skillet before adding to the batter. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
